GEOLOCALIZATION

The tour begins at the edge of the city centre of Jaén, next to the municipal sports complex Las Fuentezuelas. The first 2 km, used by hiking and cycling, have several rest areas. From here on, we will cross, on a service road, the north-west circumvalation of Jaén to resume the trail to the town of Torredelcamp. After passing through a new alternative road that saves the A-316 motorway, we arrive at the Torredelcampo station (km. 11,100) located in this urban nucleus.

After two tunnels (the first lit 333 meters long), two viaducts and the rest area of the Quebradas, we will reach the nearby town of Torredonjimeno. From Torredonjimeno Station (Km. 1,600) we will continue in the direction of Martos, for which we will have to cross two long metal walkways that allow the crossing with the road A-316. La Via Verde crosses the city centre of Martos and offers the possibility to make interesting visits to the city.

We left Martos, in a southwestern direction, towards the border with the province of Córdoba. New intersections with the national road are resolved by installing a lower step and a new gateway. In Km. 33, coinciding with the proximity of the Salado stream, the landscape changes and becomes more abrupt and serrano, already in the foothills of the Sierra Sur massif. The railway crosses rivers and streams in the middle of impressive ravines, through metal viaducts with lengths between 70 m and 224 m. These complex engineering works, which were designed by the French Alessandre and Delapierre, date back to the end of the 19th century, magnificent examples of oblonted architecture, and which constitute extraordinary views on the rural landscapes of the province of Jaén.

The rest area of the isolated station of Vado-Jaén is located at km 37. The old railway platform continues its course in the direction of the Alcaudete Station, passing the impressive viaduct on the Víboras River (224 m long and 80 m high), the remains of an abandoned balast quarry, called La Muela, and some sections of lush Mediterranean vegetation in which they stand out oak, retama and majajelos, as well as old almonds.

Leaving the Alcaudete station behind, at 48,400 km, we will reach a crossing with the A-316 road, saved by a high gateway.

After passing through the building for the railway houses, the Green Way of Oil connects with the Biking Routes of Sierra Sur de Jaén (signposted), which enter the cycloturist in the heart of the massif of the same name, and runs right next to the Laguna Honda Natural Reserve (Km. 50,500); at this point you can see the abundant and rich avifauna that dwells in this 65 Has. wetland of extension: evil, real anade, squid or small zampullin.

On the right bank of the Green Way, a road leads to another natural space protected from the environment: the Natural Reserve of Laguna del Chinche, of 6.5 Has. of extension and with an interesting perilagunar vegetation. The last miles pass through a very eroded site where deep ravines are frequent, in whose slopes the thyme and the spartum occupy a land, not suitable for the olive tree, which sometimes offer excellent panoramic views of the Vadomojón reservoir. The jiennese part of the Green Way of Oil concludes on the great iron bridge over the Guadaljoz River, right in the tail of the reservoir, 199 m long.

From this point the green track connects with that of the Cordobese Subbetic.

Shortly after the fifth bridge, it is recommended to continue to the left, where it is already incorporated into a wider road, right next to a rural house called "Nace el Río." If you go ahead, there are two ways to return, or on a road to the left that goes down to the same point of departure, or you can follow the right by a road called "Paseo del Solar," which when you reach the village allows you to go down to the Plaza de Santa María again.

The first option would be about an hour, the second option would be half an hour more, but it is worth the beautiful views we have from the viewpoints. Both routes are very simple so they are perfect for those trails who want to go for a walk or families with children. But they are also ideal to discover the most beautiful corners of the area without making an intense effort, being able to enjoy the road to the maximum.

The Andalusian Legate keeps two routes open in this province. The Nazaris and the Caliphate represent unique opportunities to decipher the keys of our past. Both itineraries run in twenty-three Jiennese municipalities. The route of the Caliphate - smaller - crosses the south of the province of Jaén, kissing three cities full of art, culture and history: Alcaudete, Castillo de Locubín and Alcalá la Real. The route of the Nazaris - the most extensive - cuts the province in two, from Sierra Morena to Sierra Mágina, passing through the districts of La Campiña and La Loma. The route crosses twenty municipalities, including the capital of the province. Up to four hundred castles, fortresses, torreons, strong houses and watchmen spatter the way. The monumental heritage, landscapes, popular customs, handicrafts and gastronomy that Jaén today possesses are largely due to that refined civilization that made al-Ándalus a paradise in the middle of the Middle Ages.

If taken in the sense of the clockwise from the point of start, the path enters
quickly in a pine pine pineapple pineapple pineapple with some
Pines resineros, cypresses and oaks. The first 350 meters of path run through an area
trees with abundant shadows and free of shrubs, as it constitutes the safety zone against
camping fires. This makes this section an ideal site for mushroom search in the autumn.
The path continues another 170 meters through a more intricate area of Mediterranean vegetation in the
that abounds the rosemary and the jars under the tree, which leads us to a spectacular lookout
Panoramic suspended on the old road N-IV. From the viewpoint you have an unparalleled vision
of the Natural Park, as the path is located on the South end. The panoramic view of 180
degrees allows to see the whole mountain of Despeñacos from the Collado de la Estrella, the Port of the King, he
Salto del Fraile, Navavacas, the Castle of Castro Ferral and following the line of the Collado de la
Star to the East, you can see the Paso de Despeñacolos and to its right the Collado de los
Gardens from where the park looks at Aldeaquemada.

Leaving the lookout behind, the path runs 900 meters through an old wooden draw track
completely flat through a lush mixed forest of pine, cypress, oak and cork,
where again the noble bush of the Mediterranean mountain gives a touch of naturality to the visitor
which loses the notion of distance to the people, but which, let us not forget, is just over 1 km from
distance.

Arrived at the end of the track, the path turns abruptly to the right to return to St. Helena
using a wider forest path, which also runs under a canopy of pineapple pine
Great. It is from that point where the only difficulty of the path is found, for during
400 meters is raised by a light cost with a slope about 5% to reach the
limit of the park where again it becomes completely flat. The final section runs through an area of
transition between forest and agricultural space, bordering just the southern perimeter of the campsite
Cracking dogs, passing through their access door and ending right where it started.

The path shows as main attractions its closeness to the people of St. Helena, its affability,
the abundance of shadows for hot days, the great botanical biodiversity and, above
all, the privileged views from the viewpoint that invites to let the imagination fly contemplating
this unparalleled landscape and, why not, to reflect on the countless travelers of so many cultures
who have used this natural passage between the plateau and Andalusia.

At the beginning of this path is a view of the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head, continuing to the East on a forest track. We immediately take a right turn, entering between jars, rosemary and lentils.

The path passes through an ancient herd of cattle, to then cross the forest track of the Membrellejo, used for the access of reels from Andújar and Marmolejo to the Sanctuary during the celebration of the annual Romeria.

It continues between the vegetation of the Mediterranean Mount, it can be seen the Pantano del Encinarejo, and the road that unites the populations of Andújar and Puertollano, beginning a slight down to reach the recreational area of El Jabali, where this path ends
