Viaduct of 237 meters long, built by means of truncated pyramidal pilasters with a rectangular plan with mortared bluestones. It consists of 9 openings, eight of which are the same, and the fourth (counting from the station) with a larger arch. It is the longest viaduct of the nature trail, built to cross the junction with the Guadalporcún River.

Railway tunnel no. 22 of the Sierra Greenway Nature Trail. Located 407 meters from the previous tunnel, it is 196 meters long and has no artificial lighting, so a flashlight is recommended. This tunnel is excavated in the side of a clayey hill. At the tunnel exit, there is an impressive specimen of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). Because it has been cultivated since ancient times (the Roman writer Columela referred to its use in 42 BC), it is difficult to determine its natural limits. Many botanists doubt that it is native to the Iberian Peninsula and believe it originates from the eastern Mediterranean basin.

Viaduct of 65 meters long, built by means of truncated-pyramidal pilasters with a rectangular plan with mortared bluestones. Formed by the repetition of 3 equal spans. Built to save the bed of the Azar stream. Less than 100 meters away there is a small rest area from where you have a good view of the Guadalete river at the exit of the Villalón meander, at the foot of the Cerro del Castellar.

The terminus of the Vía Verde de la Sierra between Olvera (Cádiz) and Puerto Serrano, built on the old railway infrastructure between Jerez de la Frontera and Almargen, built at the beginning of the twentieth century but never used due to a collective suicide of more than 20 inhabitants, which was created by a Masonic sect. The station is currently dedicated to rural tourism.
