Very beautifully designed train station

The Zuheros Viaduct crosses the embedded bed of the Bailón River. It has a length of 104 meters resolved into two lateral sections of 31.5 meters and a central section of 41.0 meters. Its structure is metallic and is very similar to that of the Guadajoz River Viaduct. It seems that both projects were drawn up by the same engineers, Alessandri and Delaperrière.

Quiet road with great views throughout, road surface in mostly good condition. Highly recommended!

The Fuente del Río in Cabra, is a picturesque natural park considered the origin of the Río Cabra. The park combines the natural beauty of a karst spring with landscaped gardens and a diverse tree landscape. It was declared a “Sitio de Interés Natural” in 1929 and today offers recreational areas and picnic areas for visitors. The spring rises at the foot of the Sierra de Cabra, an area with high rainfall and calcareous rock that leads to the formation of such karst springs. The water flows through a series of waterfalls and artificial springs and supplies the entire municipality. The Fuente del Río is part of the “Ruta del Agua” in the Subbética Cordobesa and offers a harmonious interplay of nature and human design. The park is a popular place for locals and visitors who want to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of this unique place. A visit to the Fuente del Río offers the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the region and explore the origins of the Río Cabra.

Today, the restaurant "El Tren" is located in the former Cabra train station. There is a hostel attached, offering shared rooms with bunk beds at reasonable prices. Cabra train station was inaugurated in 1893 as part of the narrow-gauge railway line that connected Puente Genil with Linares. Even then, the station was an important meeting point for the community. Over time, the introduction of new means of transport and the modernization of the railway infrastructure led to the closure of the line in 1965. The station building remains a symbol of Cabra's history to this day.

El Castillo de Zuheros is a historic fortress in the small municipality of Zuheros. The castle sits spectacularly on a rock and has become a landmark in the region. The castle's origins date back to the Moors in the 9th century. It was strategically built on a limestone cliff to control and defend the region. Its location made it almost impregnable. The viaduct is a historic remnant of the old railway line and offers an elevated platform with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscapes. The section near Zuheros is particularly spectacular as the viaduct crosses a gorge through which the Bailón River flows. From here, Zuheros Castle rises majestically above the village, embedded in a rock. The castle seems to be one with the landscape as it is integrated directly into the limestone. The view of Zuheros Castle from the viaduct is a perfect example of the unique combination of nature and history that characterizes the Córdoba region. It is a moment that makes every bike ride along the Vía Verde unforgettable.
