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.

It is not a locomotive, but a mid-19th century train car that presides over the beginning of the Via Verde del Aceite. It is a shame that vandalism has left it like this, as a witness to the present that reflects the reality of our society.

In the province of Jaén, few memories remain of the machinery used on the railway, so this boiler from a steam locomotive used from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century to transport freight and passengers on this important railway line. This section of greenway, which was removed for political reasons, houses this reminder of what was once an important economic artery in the province of Jaén, known as the "Oil Route."

The Máquina de Vapor in Martos dates from the period 1862-1963 and is an important historical artifact. This steam engine was used for industrial purposes, possibly in the context of the local oil industry or other industrial activities in the region. It is a symbol of the technological progress and industrial history of Martos and the surrounding area.

The Jaén Bullring, or Coso de La Alameda, was inaugurated on October 18, 1962, with a lineup featuring swordsmen Diego Puerta, Paco Camino, and Palmeño. On October 18, 2010, the last day of the San Lucas Fair, the 50th anniversary of the first bullfight in the bullring was commemorated with a bullfight featuring Enrique Ponce, El Juli, and José Carlos Venegas. Bullfighting is deeply rooted in the city of Jaén, as the livestock sector is very important in the province, home to some of Spain's most important ranches, such as Apolinar, Cernuño, and Enrique Ponce. The city has one bullring, the Coso de La Alameda, with a capacity of 10,500 spectators. Its main events are held during the San Lucas Fair in October, making it the last bullfighting fair of the season in Spain.
