Experience one of Spain’s most stunning greenway adventures on the Vía Verde del Aceite, a 128-kilometer cycling route that traces the path of a former olive oil railway through the heart of Andalusia.
Starting in Puente Genil, this ride winds its way gently uphill toward Jaén, taking you through a sun-drenched landscape of olive groves as far as the eye can see. You’ll pass through sleepy whitewashed villages, over impressive iron viaducts, and through tunnels carved straight through the Andalusian hills.
The route is quiet, car-free, and packed with charm – perfect for a relaxed multi-day ride or a long-distance day trip for the determined. Along the way, you might spot eagles circling overhead or farmers tending to their groves, a reminder that this route is steeped in the region’s agricultural history.
Finish in the historic city of Jaén, or turn around and take in the whole route from a fresh perspective. Either way, it’s a journey through both natural and cultural beauty that you’ll never forget.
