알코데트 주변 최고의 교통량 없는 자전거 라이딩 코스

훌륭하고 특이한 옛 기차역.

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.

Beware of vertigo.

Meeting point!!! Meeting point!!!

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.

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.

In the province of Jaén, few memories remain of the machinery used on the railway, so this boiler from a steam locomotive used from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century to transport freight and passengers on this important railway line. This section of greenway, which was removed for political reasons, houses this reminder of what was once an important economic artery in the province of Jaén, known as the "Oil Route."

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.
