Dated between 1950 / 1959. Electric flour mill with elevators and threads that carry wheat and flour from one machine to another. It has atrojes for the storage of wheat, atroje for the damp, alfanje, milling stay and machine stay. The chunks are built in tapial and spun, the function being to store the grain. The alfanje, built in brick and wood, is where you will find the set of milling stones. Inside is the gear that moves the stone. The stay of the milling is where the process of milling the grain is carried out. The machine stay is the second floor where you will find the trickle, the clean and the fender.
Located in the Hutar or Hutar Birth. It's the next mill to the Trinity Mill. He took advantage of the strength of the Hutar Arroyo water. The mill is within a newly built building. The waterfall remains with its blinded arches that brought water to the mill. In the surroundings are its mill stones
The mill is a hydraulic construction of at least Roman times that served for the grinding of cereal. The initial remains could be dated in the Roman era, but then much improved in the 16th century when it was bought by Francisco de los Cobos. The existing remains allow to contemplate several arches of the aqueduct, the water storage tank and hydraulic drive.
The architectural and urban elements of interest of Canena are the aqueduct and mill of El Molinillo, located next to the stream of the Yedra.
This lookout, located between adhesives, shows us in the distance the saws of Los Calderones and Ambroz, which make up the north-eastern end of the Sierra de Andújar Natural Park. This place, greatly linked to well-known cattle, opens a landscape where the humanized and the natural live together in balance. In these dehesas, the predominant species is the oak, which is altered in some areas with cork. It is curious to see how the higher stripes of solana show areas of rallies and sometimes covered with pringy pits, while in the most intertwined umbria in the valleys that make up these loins, vegetation hardly allows to see the ground. Many cynegetic species find shelter and food in these formations. It is not unusual to cross with some partridge followed by its partridges or to check how some eagle merods through the area for food.
On the local road that links the farms of Los Escoriales and Sealadores.
Half way to the path of the Centenera, on the public mountain called the Baldius. The view of the Majadillas attracts by the divergence of its landscapes; on the one hand, an agricultural landscape where the olive trees predominate, although in the areas near the Vega del Guadalquivir, the irrigated crops stand out, and on the other, an agribusiness landscape dominated by plucked oak of Mediterranean mountain. The town of Marmolejo, known for its medicinal water springs, which led to the creation of the spa and which deal with kidney and digestive problems, can be seen at a distance. To the right of Marmolejo we see the Guadalquivir valley, which is seen between mountains. However, despite the fantastic views, we advise the visitor to turn from time to time the look to the sky, as it is possible to see eagles such as the scum or the real one, whose bearing will surprise us.
Near the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head, right on the path that goes from here to New Place. The Viewer of the Old Way of Andújar is located in a place where landscapes, history and tradition take their own life. The road leading to the lookout is traveled throughout the year by a multitude of pilgrims on their journey to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head, Queen and Lady of Sierra Morena, which is also the oldest known Romry. To the attractive views of the place we must add this added value, as it is part of the culture, idiosyncrasy and fervor of its people. From the balcony we can see the refreshing beauty of the valley of the Jandula River (tributary of the Guadalquivir, to which it is joined later) with a typical and lush riverside forest, where the olmos take special prominence. Right across the street, covered with a pine cloak, the Marquitos hill stands out and, to its left down, the area called the New Place, where you can see the facilities of a forest nursery. The vegetation is typically Mediterranean, alternating areas of oak with pine and black areas.
Over the past decades, the landscape of Larva has changed according to agricultural needs. The fields seen, originally, have been occupied by large cereal crops, being the main food support for their inhabitants. Over time, the steppe landscape has undergone a great transformation, leaving the cultivation of the olive tree, and occupying the largest area for agricultural use, passing to a second level the cultivation of the cereal.
One of the most unknown corners of the Sierra Magina region is the village of Larva. Larva is located in a privileged place between two Natural Parks in the province of Jaén.

ZONAS DE AVISTAMIENTO DE FAUNA SALVAJE
El avistamiento relativamente frecuente de fauna salvaje es uno de los atractivos más conocidos y destacados del Parque Natural. Ciervos, gamos, muflones, cabras monteses, jabalíes y diversas aves rapaces son muy abundantes, como consecuencia de lo agreste del territorio, de su gran extensión y de su buen estado de conservación.
Pero es preciso tener en cuenta una serie de consideraciones para no ver defraudadas tus expectativas y para que tu actividad no perturbe la vida animal:
Por otra parte, ten presente que, además de los grandes herbívoros y las rapaces, el Parque Natural está lleno de otros muchos animales cuya observación te puede resultar muy gratificante.
Las ardillas son abundantísimas, así como las avecillas forestales (carboneros, herrerillos, mitos, pinzones, etc.) y otros muchos pájaros. El inconfundible canto de pequeñas rapaces nocturnas, como el cárabo y el autillo, son habituales en los bosques del Parque y en el entorno de pueblos y aldeas.
En los ríos podrás ver al mirlo acuático, habitante de las aguas rápidas y limpias. Y, por supuesto, a las truchas. Miles de especies de invertebrados, así como pequeños anfibios y reptiles se ofrecerán a tu vista… a veces, no hay escena de caza más apasionante que la de una simple salamanquesa que acecha con infinita paciencia a los mosquitos posados sobre las blancas paredes de un cortijo, en las frescas y estrelladas noches del verano.
En todo el Parque Natural se puede avistar fauna salvaje, pero en este mapa te sugerimos una serie de áreas y enclaves donde es más fácil la observación de los grandes herbívoros y las rapaces.
SENDERS OF ORNITOLOGIC INTEREST
In the southern area of the Park and its nearby environment there are ten paths of Ornithological Interest. They are all in easily accessible places of great landscape beauty and at the beginning they have a panel with very complete information about the species of birds that can be observed, the route and the environment.
Altiplanicie in height, surrounded by mountains. Border space between the municipal terms of Los Cárcheles and Jaén. It is ideal for all-terrain bike and hiking and is accessible, by unasphalted slopes, from the Monte de la Sierra peri-urban park (Jaén) and from Carchelejo (Cárcheles).
Although Iberian lince has been a protected species since 1966, this wonderful feline is in danger of extinction. At present, only two populations are viable and consolidated for the development and proliferation of this species: the one in Doñana and the one in the natural spaces Sierra de Cardeña and Montoro Natural Park and Sierra de Andújar Natural Park, where the most important population of the nail cat is located.
To see a lince in Andújar
To try to locate and observe an Iberian lince we must look for a good observatory from which we see a lot of saw, many slopes, rosquets, bushes and above all, many clear pasture. Among the best areas for an observation day are:
Road of the boat on its last stretch.
Road and recreational area of the Encinarejo.
Embalse of the Encinarejo from the north bank.
All the viewpoints in the south of the park.
Jabali Path.
Recreative area of the line in New Place.
Located at the observatory, it is essential to be always very attentive and silent, so, even in plain sight, we can distinguish a lineage moving if it is not too far away. We will also start a sweep of the area by means of binoculars. With them we will be looking at the clear and the exits of the land; so we can discover some cat placed on a rock. The telescope should be left for the last search, to go looking further and to go looking very slowly or even to look at the animal once we have discovered it.?
As with almost all predators, the corvids are also very aggressive with the Iberian lince (perhaps this is the animal with which they are most rattled), so we have to be very long-awaited of the movements and demands of the urracas. 50% of the success of observing a lince can come from being able to interpret the corvids.
For the sake of the species and the future visitors who seek to see the great cat, we must respect all the rules of public use, be respectful of the environment, always remain silent and do not in any way disturb animals. Nor should we enter privately owned farms without authorization or deviate from established paths.
