캄피냐 델 수르 최고의 사이클링 경로

The Estación de Torredelcampo is a historic railway station along the Vía Verde del Aceite, located at kilometer 11 of today's “Camino Natural.” It was the first station after the starting point in Jaén and played an important role in freight and passenger transport on the former Linares–Puente Genil railway line. Today, it serves as a rest and information point for cyclists and hikers on the Vía Verde.

The station was opened in 1893 by the Compañía de los Ferrocarriles Andaluces on the Linares–Puente Genil line. It had a simple station building, a goods shed, several sidings, water depots, and a cast-iron “aguada” for steam locomotives. After the line was closed in 1984, the facilities fell into disrepair until they were restored and integrated into the network as part of the conversion to the Vía Verde. Next to the station is the Jardín de Variedades del Olivo, a botanical garden with 31 varieties of olives from 5 Mediterranean countries (including Carrasqueño de Alcaudete, Arbequina, Kalamon). There are picnic facilities here, but no restaurant.

The Laguna del Conde (also known as Laguna del Salobral) is an important wetland that serves as a habitat for numerous bird species such as flamingos, cormorants, and ducks. Along the Vía Verde, there are viewpoints from which visitors can observe the wildlife.

The El Caballico tunnel, with a length of 333 meters, is one of the longest tunnels on the Vía Verde. It is well preserved and offers a special experience for travelers passing through.
