The Estación de Torredelcampo is a historic railway station along the Vía Verde del Aceite, located at kilometer 11 of today's “Camino Natural.” It was the first station after the starting point in Jaén and played an important role in freight and passenger transport on the former Linares–Puente Genil railway line. Today, it serves as a rest and information point for cyclists and hikers on the Vía Verde.

Little remains of what was once one of the most important stations on the Vía Verde del Aceite (Olive Oil Greenway), but we can still say that the old station has a warehouse used by maintenance workers. There's also a public fountain for filling up water and shade for relaxing. The city council also built adjacent sports courts where groups of young people often gather for physical activities.

We're in a very shaded area with a fountain and wooden benches for resting after our journey along the Vía Verde del Aceite (Olive Oil Greenway). We're in Torredelcampo, the birthplace of olive oil and the hometown of one of the country's most popular singers; his name was "Juanito Valderrama." This area also has some gymnastics equipment if we're so inclined.

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.
