The Estación de Vado-Jaén is a historic stop along the Vía Verde del Aceite, located at kilometer 37 of the route between Martos and Alcaudete. Originally part of the Linares–Puente Genil railway line, it was converted into a rest and information station for cyclists and hikers after the line was closed in the 1980s. Today, it serves as an access point to the Vía Verde and offers parking and a rest area for visitors.

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.

Beware of vertigo.

This small iron structure serves to facilitate the passage of Vía Verde users over the Autovía del Olivar highway as it passes through Torredelcampo. It was built relatively recently and was carried out by the Jaén Provincial Council, presumably with European funding. It solves a problem that required traveling a few meters further to reach another bridge in the aforementioned town.

The difficult layout of the Vía Verde del Aceite required the construction of tunnels and viaducts to overcome the terrain. As we left Jaén heading towards Córdoba, we came across this first metal viaduct, which stands out for its design and the material it was made of. It is 124 meters long and has a maximum height of 25 meters. It is based on the modernist construction technique typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The technique is similar to that used on the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, but it was built and designed by disciples of the prodigious builder named Dayd'e and Pillé around 1890. The pieces and structure were constructed in the French city of Creil. This technique involves joining the parts with rivets that prevent the metal from welding.

This is the first tunnel we encounter when leaving Jaén along the Vía Verde del Aceite (Olive Oil Green Route) and is located just a few meters from the old Torredelcampo station. It curves for 333 meters, so we can't see the exit when we enter. However, it's well lit for walking or cycling. However, it's recommended to carry a light on your bike. It is in perfect condition after having the surface repaired and the lighting area expanded.

Due to the roadworks carried out in the Torredelcampo industrial estate, the Vía Verde (Greenway) was closed at the intersection with the Olive Grove Highway. Thanks to the Provincial Council, this overpass was built for cyclists and pedestrians to avoid the previous detour!

It's not a locomotive, but a mid-19th-century train car that presides over the beginning of the Vía Verde del Aceite. It's a shame that vandalism has left it like this, a witness to the present that reflects the reality of our society.

During that time, this method of metalworking was very common, creating rivets that avoided welding, like the imposing Eiffel Tower in neighboring Spain. Therefore, all the viaducts along the Oil Train route maintain this construction technique. Since there were no workshops specialized in this method of metalworking in Spain, the Daydé and Pillé workshops in France were commissioned to build each of these viaducts. In this case, it may be one of the shortest, but no less striking than the rest.

This tunnel is the longer of the two between Jaén and Martos and is lit, although it's advisable to carry a bike light to help you see and be seen by pedestrians, as this is a section of the greenway that is often heavily used by Torredelcampo residents. It is 334 meters long and curves inside, so when we enter through either entrance, we can't see the exit. Fortunately, the lighting inside prevents us from straying from the path or falling into the small drainage channel. It was completed at the end of the 19th century, specifically in 1893, and was the last section of the complete line between Linares and Baeza, Puente Genil.

It's a vestige awaiting renovation, and despite having undergone some renovations, it remains awaiting definitive support. This former railway station in the city of Martos is a testament to the splendor that the Vía del Aceite (Olive Oil Route) enjoyed during the 20th century, and therefore to the city and all the towns through which the current Vía Verde del Aceite (Olive Oil Green Route) passed. Let's hope that the authorities allocate funds to permanently restore this symbol, which is part of the city, and that it becomes a showcase for cycle tourism travelers who travel along the aforementioned green route.

In 1891, Alessandre and Delapierre designed this viaduct, almost 83 metres long and 20 metres high. Although its dimensions are smaller than those of other structures on the railway line, the metal grid rests on a huge stone pilaster and the bluestone masonry stands out. In 1985, with the definitive closure of the line and the cessation of the transport of goods and passengers, the bridge was abandoned until the inauguration of the Vía Verde del Aceite nature trail, which restored some of its former splendour and delighted cyclists and walkers who cross it every day.
