For water, food and accommodationYou can take advantage of the city of Jaén, next to which is this climbing area.
Notes and warnings.- The estate is an olive grove, so it is not appropriate to get close to the walls. We must also park in places that do not stop the passage.
How to get there.- From Jaén capital you take the road of Los Villares (C-3221). At kilometer two, a small lane that takes directly to the area is on the right. In Jaén this area is known as the Fuente de la Peña, an old laundry area on the outskirts of the city. The scarves go from there to the quarry.

They are not too many tracks and some of the older ones have a veiled equipment, but the slightly collapsed and good quality orange wall offers itineraries with many holes and rigs. This is a sports climbing school, where most of the fixations are reliable. The characteristics of these walls make the tracks explosive. The rock is limestone. The maximum height of the walls is 15 meters. It is a good area of boulder, sometimes very powerful.
For water, food and accommodation.- Water should be brought, as the nearest water is in Bedmar or Jodar. The accommodation and restaurants of the immediate villages are ideal for finding supply.
How to get there.- The area is 60 kilometres from Jaén capital. From this city you have to go to Bedmar (C-328). After that municipality we turn right through the crossing with the C-325.

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.

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.

Km 115 - Sequero de Siles.
Coordinates 38.39197, -2,58255
Siles is a village of 2200 inhabitants located on the north end of the Natural Park. There is an old artificial pineapple sequero, which has been musealized and transformed into the current Centre for Interpretation and Reception of Visitors of the Sierra de Segura. It is located in the street Carretera de Hellín no. 21, and has several exhibition spaces that report on the natural values of the Sierra de Segura, the history of the human population in the territory, the serrano trades and, in an outstanding way, on the sequero itself, from which the original machinery is preserved.
