The first meters of the walk are already on the platform of the Via Verde del Eil until its confluence with the autonomous road. The road is passed with great caution - although there is good visibility, cars are moving at high speed - to link with the old railway route. From here, the dilated olive countryside is almost in a straight line.

After walking about 25 minutes, you reach the first lagoon, the Nature Reserve of the Honda Lagoon. The water sheet is surrounded by an eneas and carrizos that provide shelter, during the winter, to a multitude of aquatic birds. The best way to appreciate the lagoon and the avifauna is from the same railway platform. Getting close to the water sheet means losing perspective.

The route continues a mile along the road. When he reached a raft, he moved along the lane that went up to the right. A little later it passes by the Cortijo del Chinche, from where the second lagoon, the Natural Reserve of the Laguna del Chinche, is already seen. Although smaller than the previous one, it also houses a large group of anatids. The most suitable point for contemplating it is from the left-hand lane at the next crossing. The latter section is not suitable for users with reduced mobility.

To return to the starting point, we will use the same route. If desired you can extend the walk to the end of the Green Way of Oil and the province of Jaén, near the Embalse de Vado Mojón. There it links with the Via Verde of the Subbetics, already in the province of Córdoba.

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

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.

By oral tradition it is known that the olive trees located in theMotril plainhaveover 500 years. This enclave is located just over 1 km from the city centre, at the foot of the Martos road to Santiago de Calatrava. It occupies an extension of 84 ha, with 5,394 trees in total, some of them, true living sculptures. It is a fully productive olive tree, with an average production of 150 kg per tree.
