This is another area notable for its slope and also contains a large number of loose stones, which gives it the name "Cuesta de las Chinas" (Hill of the Chinas), referring to the loose stones that make it difficult for cyclists and horses to pass through this section.

The people of Andújar have named the different sections of the Camino Viejo with names that reflect the steep climbs or extreme descents; thus, this first slope was called and known by everyone as the "Cuesta del Reventón" (Hill of the Bursting), as it is the warm-up for the pilgrims in the tough ascent to the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Head

In Andújar, this first approach to the Sierra Morena is known as "Los Cerrillos," as it consists of gentle hills used as a grazing area for docile cattle. Bulls, cows, and calves graze freely throughout the fenced area.

More commonly known in Andújar as "the pipes," these are part of the irrigation water conduit from the Rumblar reservoir, located in the town of Baños de la Encina. This conduit, designed for irrigation, is over a century old, having been planned during the Second Spanish Republic around 1936. The old road runs beneath these enormous pipes.

These photos convey the high spirits felt by municipal employees after the visit of the Cofradía Matriz de la Virgen de la Cabeza de Andújar to City Hall. The Mayor, led by the Mayor, visited the premises to share their views of the festivities taking place in the coming days.

This modern sculpture evokes the Virgin of the Head, patron saint of Andújar and the Diocese of Jaén. It was donated to the city by the Association of Friends of Heritage and created by sculptor Manuel López Pérez in a demonstration of creative skill that is difficult to quantify, as he uses metal as a construction element, imitating the real image cast in wood. It is temporarily placed in the courtyard of the town hall, awaiting its final placement in a suitable location for public viewing.

It is a rest area going up towards San Ginés, where you can sit and relax for a while.

This is the point at which a large part of the climb from Andújar to San Ginés ends. From there you can see some movie views.
