Aceite Greenway Nature Trail
Description
select a stage:
The layout of an old railway line that communicated Linares (Jaén) and Puente Genil (Cordoba) from the 19th century until the early 20th century serves as the base for the Aceite Greenway Nature Trail, a path that runs among olives in the provinces of Jaén and Cordoba and which allows the traveller to discover the beautiful landscape of the Andalusian countryside.
This railway line, popularly known as the "Olive Oil Train", allowed to trade the typical products of the region, particularly olive oil, which was loaded onto tank cars headed to the Malaga port. As of today, the old railway traffic has been substituted by cyclists and hikers, who, along almost 120 km, have the opportunity to enjoy this nature trail, which has the aroma of freshly pressed olives.
