로스 빌라레스 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Beware of vertigo.

Meeting point!!! Meeting point!!!

This roundabout is adorned with stones that were once used to grind olives and produce olive oil. It's like a small exhibition of the processes used in the past, displayed to the public as they pass by the Greenway so they can get a sense of the shape of the stones and the circular axes on which they rotated endlessly until the liquid gold was obtained.

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.

This necessary roundabout was made to wait to redirect traffic towards the southern ring road, which connects with the Castle and the Parador de Turismo and in turn with the road that takes us to Villares de Jaén.

A few years ago, Jaén City Council decided to pay tribute to the Civil Guard by creating a statue at the roundabout specifically designed for this purpose, on a major artery in the city. Today, this roundabout has considerably improved access to the neighborhood and, in turn, pays tribute to the Civil Guard, a national security force highly valued and esteemed by Spaniards.

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.

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!
