The difficult route of the Vía Verde del Aceite required the construction of tunnels and viaducts to overcome the terrain's orography. Thus, when we set off from Jaén in the direction of Córdoba, we encountered this first metal viaduct that stands out for its design and the material it is made of. It is 124 meters long and a maximum of 25 meters high, based on the modernist construction art typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the technique is similar to that used in the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, but built and designed by disciples of the prodigious builder named Dayd´e and Pillé around 1890. The pieces and structure were built in the French city of Creil. This technique consists of joining the parts using rivets that avoid welding the metal.

This is the first tunnel we encounter when leaving Jaén along the Vía Verde del Aceite (Olive Oil Green Route) and is located just a few meters from the old Torredelcampo station. It curves for 333 meters, so we can't see the exit when we enter. However, it's well lit for walking or cycling. However, it's recommended to carry a light on your bike. It is in perfect condition after having the surface repaired and the lighting area expanded.

This tunnel is the longer of the two between Jaén and Martos and is lit, although it's advisable to carry a bike light to help you see and be seen by pedestrians, as this is a section of the greenway that is often heavily used by Torredelcampo residents. It is 334 meters long and curves inside, so when we enter through either entrance, we can't see the exit. Fortunately, the lighting inside prevents us from straying from the path or falling into the small drainage channel. It was completed at the end of the 19th century, specifically in 1893, and was the last section of the complete line between Linares and Baeza, Puente Genil.

It's a vestige awaiting renovation, and despite having undergone some renovations, it remains awaiting definitive support. This former railway station in the city of Martos is a testament to the splendor that the Vía del Aceite (Olive Oil Route) enjoyed during the 20th century, and therefore to the city and all the towns through which the current Vía Verde del Aceite (Olive Oil Green Route) passed. Let's hope that the authorities allocate funds to permanently restore this symbol, which is part of the city, and that it becomes a showcase for cycle tourism travelers who travel along the aforementioned green route.
