Natural wonders and nature reserves
Jaen possesses three natural wonders: the Upper Guadalquivir, Laguna
Granda (the Large Lagoon) and Cimbarra Waterfall. The first of these
is located between the townships of Torreperogil, Cazorla, Jodar and
Peal de Becerro. This beauty spot encloses a series of small reservoirs
inhabited by an important community of aquatic birds. Laguna Grande
is found in Baeza. It is the most extensive and best preserved lagoon
in the province. The Cimbarra Waterfall is in Aldeaquemada. The River
Guarrizas gushes down through a confined chasm, creating a truly beautiful
landscape. In addition to these three natural wonders, jaen maintains
two nature reserves: Laguna Honda (the Deep Lagoon) and Laguna de
la Chinche. Both are located in Alcaudete, close to the border of
the province of Cordoba. These two wetlands welcome a rich variety
of aquatic fauna during winter. |

| The Green Olive Oil
Trail is one of the biggest tourist attractions of the Route of the
Campiña. This green corridor which is 55 km long, follows the
itinerary which had been previously used by the railway line that
connected Jaen with the Cordovan station of Campo Real. The railway
line was constructed between 1882 and 1893. During a large part of
the 20 th Century this line was used for the transportation of mineals
and the conveyance of olive oil, which was the origin of the name
"the oil train". It was abandoned in 1971 due to commercial
reasons, and was definitively closed to passengers on 1st January,
1985. At the end of the nineties, the Provincial Delegation of Jaen
recovered this historical route for tourism. Thus, plans were made
for the Green Olive Oil Trail, an ideal itinerary for mountain trekking,
cycle tourism and other sports which are closely linked to Nature.
