The Luque station, part of the original Linares-Puente Genil line, was built by the Compañía de los Ferrocarriles Andaluces and opened along with the entire line in January 1893. In 1941, with the nationalisation of the Iberian railways, the facilities passed into the hands of RENFE. The line remained in service until it was closed in October 1984, when it was dismantled and the tracks removed. After the line was closed, the old station building has been used as a restaurant since 1990. It also houses the Oil Interpretation Centre, a site dedicated to the history of olive oil and olive groves, where you can also taste oil from the region. The site is within the route formerly known as the "Vía Verde de la Subbética". In 2017, those responsible for the Greenway routes agreed to unify all sections of the old route under the same name "Vía Verde del Aceite". For many, however, it is and will remain the "Green Way". Luque station is a popular starting or intermediate point for cycling tours along the Vía Verde del Aceite, the old railway line that is now a great cycle path. The route offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the Córdoba region. The current station also offers a good opportunity to take a break and enjoy food and cool drinks.

The bridge that stands out above is El Pontón. The medieval bridge over the Víboras River, restored in 2001, is located in the natural area known as “El Pontón”, within the municipality of Alcaudete. It is a clear example of civil architecture and its objective was to save the narrow course of the river. Popularly known as the "Roman Bridge" because it is believed to have been part of a branch of the Roman road, it is 9 metres long and approximately 7.5 metres high. The existence of two Iberian-Roman sites in the area has also been the cause of the erroneous chronology of this construction.
