Railroad tunnel No. 25 of the Sierra Greenway Nature Trail. Located 1,670 meters from the previous tunnel, it is 500 meters long and equipped with artificial lighting, although it is advisable to have a flashlight. This tunnel is dug into the limestone slope of the Cerro de los Borregales or Castellar de Jalifa. The castellares are hills with a limestone plateau at the top, raised on a base of softer materials, in this case Triassic clay and sandstone, which give them the appearance of a fortress. At the top of this hill are the remains of an old watchtower from the Spanish-Islamic period.

Located 1,031 meters from the previous tunnel, it is 87 meters long and not equipped with artificial light, so it is advisable to have a flashlight. This tunnel was dug from clay and sandstone.
