Molino del Cubo

Highlight • Historical Site

El Molino del Cubo is several km from Torredonjimeno (Jaén) and is a construction dating from the mid-15th century, with two floors and a square cube-shaped structure (hence the name), and which is preserved in relatively good condition. It is considered to be of cultural interest and was built by the Military Orders of the southern peninsula, specifically the Order of Calatrava in 1437, next to the stream of the same name.
The waterwheel was in the upper nave from where the water fell from the stream that arrived through a conduit called acequia.

Greenway tunnel in Torredelcampo

Highlight • Structure

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.

Viaduct number 2

Highlight • Bridge

It has a length of just over 80 meters long and about 20 high. It was designed by Alessandre and Delapierre and was built in France like all the viaducts on the track. This was armed and installed in 1891.

Bajo Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Torredonjimeno Station

Highlight • Structure

Little remains of what was once one of the most important stations on the Vía Verde del Aceite (Olive Oil Greenway), but we can still say that the old station has a warehouse used by maintenance workers.
There's also a public fountain for filling up water and shade for relaxing. The city council also built adjacent sports courts where groups of young people often gather for physical activities.
