Vía Verde de la Sierra Tunnels and Peñón de Zaframagón

Highlight • Cycleway

The Via Verde de la Sierra is a beautiful green route in Andalusia that starts in Puerto Serrano and ends in Olvera. This 36-kilometre route follows an old railway line that was built in the early 20th century between Jerez de la Frontera and Almargen. The route offers a unique combination of beautiful nature and historical sights, including the impressive Sierra de Cádiz and a large colony of Griffon Vultures.

The route is ideal for both walking and cycling and passes through several tunnels and viaducts, making it a unique experience. Along the way you will pass through smaller villages and peaceful landscapes, making it perfect for a relaxing adventure in nature.

Zaframagón Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

A 135-meter-long viaduct, built using rectangular truncated pyramidal pilasters with mortared ashlars, is formed by the repetition of seven identical arches.
It was built to span the Guadalporcún River crossing before it meets the Guadamanil River. The latter originates in the Sierra de la Lebrona mountain range in the municipality of Pruna (Seville) and flows into the Guadalporcún River just a few meters from the viaduct. The confluence of the rivers has created a wide floodplain.
From this railway infrastructure, there is a privileged view of the Estrechón Canyon, a natural passage carved by the Guadalporcún River to traverse the foothills of the Zaframagón Rock. Just below, on the left bank of the Guadalporcún, we find the ruined building of what was once the Zaframagón mill. A little further west, other ruins can be seen. It is a small town built for workers on the railway line construction site.

Peñón de Zaframagón Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Peña de Zaframagón is an impressive natural formation located in the Sierra de Grazalema, on the border of the provinces of Cádiz and Seville in Spain. This formation is one of the highest points in the region, with an altitude of 584 meters above sea level. The area is known for its sharp cliffs and the beautiful nature that surrounds it.
One of the highlights of the Peña de Zaframagón is the Garganta del Estrechón, a deep gorge carved by the Guadalporcún River. Here you will also find unique landscapes such as pools, marmitas de gigante (large kettles) and small waterfalls. The area is an important nature reserve and is home to various flora and fauna, including the largest colony of fulvus in Andalusia and one of the largest in Europe.

After getting a bit lost at first, we found the station and starting point of the Via Verde, a very nice bike path with many tunnels and a few viaducts, one of the highlights was that you could see a lot of vultures 😍

Pretty hills lined with plantations of various colors and a few "pueblos blancos" until Orgiva: light traffic. Then, "via verde": absolute tranquillity, lots of greenery, a few bulls, cows and horses, several tunnels. Really very bucolic.
