We will walk through a varied landscape of low and half mountain, between olive groves and masses of carrasco and black pine with abundant Mediterranean forest, spilled by beautiful walnuts, complaints and pineapples. We can also see well-preserved river vegetation.

Between the Dehesa del Oso and Villarrodrigo there are long sections from which we will enjoy a wide range of views of all theNatural Park. In the vicinity of Villarrodrigo you can see the last eastern foothills of Sierra Morena and the transition landscape formed by dehesas.

The corvids, such as the lard and the corneas, as well as the boar, are abundant. In the area of the Cambrón there is an interesting colony of leonate vulture.

After passing through an alpechenera and under an old bridge of the mining railway the path ascends along the stony coast of San Pedro to the Cañada de Incosa; from which we continue, to the right, a stretch that presents, to the west, magnificent views of the population of Baños de la Encina.

Walking this path is moving in memory to a period in the history of Linares.

After 1.4 Km we connect with the road and by a wooden step we take the Green Way until we reach a crossing (connection to the path of the Gitana Mine PR-A 264), then we pass through the solid waste treatment plant and continue on the old steep path of Siles that will lead us back to Linares.

The itinerary turns left and gently descends between chaps, next to air-navigation antennas, enjoying beautiful panoramic views. It concludes the fall at a crossroads between the Cerro de las Manciebas and Pico, near the Dark Porvenir well. We continue on the right to reach the hill, connecting with the path of the Garza, PR-A 262. Let us go on a path that will make us drunk by its beauty and by the history of its mining remains: the Pozo Zulueta, the Pozo de San Ignacio and the Lavadero de Mineral de Arrayanes, as well as views of the valley of the lagoons.

In the Lavadero de Arrayanes (construction on the hillside to take advantage of a gravity circuit that separated the mineral, through several phases) we moved away from the path of La Garza to continue a ramp to reach the well of San José and the Central Electric, where the route coincides again with the path of Pico to the well restoration, in which they are separated following the Green Way.

About 100 meters from this point the Via Verde is bifurca (1); on the left you reach the La Cruz Fundition road, which we follow 20 meters to take a lane to the left, next to a ruins, which leads to an aerodrome. We find two branches outside the path, both on the left, interesting if time is available, the first leads to the well Chaves and the second to the High Alamillo Mine with the possibility of enjoying an unbeatable view. Later there is the urbanization of La Cruz, where we will reach the beginning of this mining route.

(1) This bifurcation on the Green Way on the right is a shortcut to the La Cruz Fundition when little time is available to make the route marked

In the well restoration, open between 1844 and 1850, the building that housed the garage and locomotives workshop of the mining railway stands out. In the well of San José, next to the road, you can still see the place called "Bajada de la Reina," made for a visit by Elizabeth II to the first gallery.

We pass by the well Cadenas and later through the Vimora Lavadero, example of natural regeneration of the vegetation of the area...

The path continues to Paño Pico (geodetic vertex) and the Mina de La Mexicana, don enclaves from where it is possible to enjoy an unbeatable panorama of the area: far away La Carolina and Baños de la Encina, closer to the Hoyo de San Bartolomé, Cerro de las Manciebas, etc. From Mexico an ancient road between oak trees, interrupted by an olive grove, leads to the Fireplace de la Cruz, one of the highest in the area that reached a height of 100 m (today it is 57 m), and where the path reshares route with the PR-A 261. We passed by the Pozo Cadenas and later on through the Vimora Lavadero, an example of natural regeneration of the vegetation of the area, to go around the urbanization until the end of the La Cruz Foundry, where all types of lead products were made, and that will be the seat of the future Interpretation Centre.

The well of the Gitana, ideal place of rest where we can be surprised by a spectacular rainbow effect produced in the mouth of the well.

A lane connects right to the path. We follow on the right and about 100 meters away there are ruins, later leading a short and slight descent to the urbanization of San Roque in front of a slender fireplace on the Carretera de Guarroman. On the road and on the left you have to walk about 250 meters to a track between chalets that we take to turn left again. The path gently descends through an area of dehesa to reach the well of the Gypsy, not before opening and closing a wire that as a door prevents the free passage.

The well of the Gitana, ideal place of rest where we can be surprised by a spectacular rainbow effect produced in the mouth of the well. We arrive at the well of Las Animas, there at a table of interpretation the most interesting places in the area are recognized. The crossing is located with the mines of Adaro. Without deviating, during the descent to the left is the Pozo de San Isidro, below a vaguada the road ascends leaving at its pass and to the right the Pozo San Francisco 2nd, and culminates in the Solid Waste Plant, where it continues along the road, which is only to be left after passing the crossing with the Mina de Los Quinientos and taking a path that leaves to the left through the Via Verde next to a ruined shed linking with the Fundado de la Tortilla, PRA 265, which together use the Camino de Siles to reach Linares.

The path begins at the same source of the Cañada de las Azadillas, before a small round where the asphalt road ends. To the right of the fountain and to the empty, we go up perpendicularly from the road about 80 m. We make a turn of something more than 90 ° to the left where a horseshoe path is born that passes on the hillside of the fountain. Once on the road there is no loss as it is very marked, only some fallen trees cross the road, but these do not have difficulty avoiding them.

This first stretch is a constant rise and the good route of the path facilitates progression. As you gain height, the cups of the bushes adjacent to the path partially occupy some areas of the path, but in no case makes the footprint difficult or hidden. Already at the top the slope is softer and soon in a clear area we find the remains of a low-marked lane that lead to an explanade where forest cars turn, and start of the track. This point is the place of access and to which we must return, if we want to visit the forest shed Cruz de la Chimba at about 200 meters, hidden by the thickness of the pines. There is no path marked as such, so it is easy to get confused even though the distance is short. The best option is to walk on the track about 20 m from where the vehicle pass begins and is marked, perpendicularly to the lane and to the right of the track (west direction, direction 247th) we enter the pine in an area of path little defined, but with traces of the passage of the people, and that goes slightly up to reach a meadow where the shed is.

The Chimba Cross. It's the star point of the excursion. It has one of the best panoramic views of the Sierra de Jaén. Behind the shed is La Pandera, below the valley of the Quiebrajano River, and towards the north, the Castle of Otiñar and to the bottom of Jaén. It is in a semi-exclusive state thanks to the respectful care of its visitors. Caution should be exercised if we are accompanied by children or have vertigo, as the shed is in the vicinity of a steep area without any protection.

For return to the track the same route is used in the one way. Again on the forest track you have to continue to the right, the land is flat. This area is known as the Llanos de Navalopos. The track has no confusion. At its step and on the left it passes close to a plain and later borders a second plain up to a hill. At this point, the track goes down continuously until it returns to the Azadillas Canyon. But first we will find a chain that cuts the way to the cars and just beyond there is a crossing with the track that links the Azadillas Canyon with the Llanos de Palomares and the Pueblo de Carchelejo. We continue on the left descending, direction to the Cañada de las Azadillas. At the entrance to the Hall of Nature we will have finished the tour.

To take this path we will have to go to the northern part of the urban town of Andújar and from the cemetery take the Old Way or the San Amasio Way. The road is a track of land with good firm, up to the kilometer 1.9 where is the area known as Los Tubos, where the track is crossed by a huge tube of the Rumblar Canal.

In the area known as the "Tubos" is located the zero km of the route Camino Viejo - Cordel de los Molinos. From this point on the track through which we travel, it has worse firm, but it is passable by all-terrain vehicles for 900 meters more, until it reaches a rest area for the pilgrims and the sign of the beginning of the path. The starting signal is located next to a metal door that we will have to close to us to start the path on foot, on horse or by bicycle.
