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.

One of the Legends of the Place called "Witch Street"

A few years ago, a middle-aged man was walking on the so-called "Cuesta del Monte," coinciding with the fall of the afternoon. The martial passage he was carrying did not stop the night from coming, dinning in black the horizon, leaving it with no more light than the moon itself and no more reference than the stars, accompanied along his journey by a sound of slack, sound that became ever more intense and close until he found what caused that sound, was a small, disoriented lamb that claimed with his cry help. This good man hastened to take him and put him on the shoulder, perhaps with the intention of taking him home and taking care of him with the rest of his animals or perhaps to see if he could find the flock or the shepherd along the way looking for him. But the pretensions of this good man, soon they went to the stray, when by passing through the place called "alley of witches" he felt like a voice whispered to him in the ear, "You have teeth like me," the man looked back and discovered that it was the lamb who spoke to him, such was the fear that the man who released the animal and began to run to his destination.

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.
