The Linares Bullring, also known as the Coso de Santa Margarita, is one of the city's most iconic sites, both for its architecture and its bullfighting history. It was built in 1866 and inaugurated in 1867 with a bullfight featuring bulls from the Miura ranch.

Burgalimar Castle, also known as Baños de la Encina Castle, is an impressive fortress located in the town of Baños de la Encina, in the province of Jaén, Andalusia. This castle was built in the 10th century during the Caliphate of Córdoba, under the rule of Caliph Al-Hakam II. The castle is famous for its Islamic military architecture and its excellent state of preservation. It is surrounded by a robust crenellated wall with fourteen towers, as well as a keep of Christian origin. Its strategic location at the entrance to the Guadalquivir Valley made it an important defensive bastion during the Muslim era. Today, Burgalimar Castle is a national monument and a prominent tourist attraction, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its rich history and enjoy panoramic views of the region.

Gateway to the town of Villargordo, which is located just over 20 kilometres from the capital and is part of the Villatorres Town Council, the result of the union between the municipalities of Villargordo, Torrequebradilla and Vados de Torralba back in 1975. This municipality, like those mentioned above, lives mainly from agriculture, closely dependent on olive groves and their derivatives. In recent years, pistachio crops have begun to be seen as a more profitable product and less fluctuating in price than olive oil.

There are hardly any steps left on the railway line, but for whatever reason, we still find some of them and they deserve to be considered as something exceptional. It is a line that reaches the capital of Jaén.

These are facilities that depend on the Department of Agriculture of the Regional Government of Andalusia, and where training programs and courses are carried out for farmers who want to improve their investments in agriculture. It is also a research center where work is carried out to improve production in general, predominantly olive groves, in the province of Jaén.

It is located right next to the road and it can be seen that it had much larger buildings nearby where farming tools and livestock intended for agricultural work were possibly kept.

It is a ruined building belonging to a farmhouse that had large properties and where religious events were held. Today it only remains as a sad reminder of a past that saw better days.
