Olvera

Highlight • Settlement

Olvera has a beautiful hilltop location. The village is dominated by the heavy keep of the castle and the neoclassical silhouette of the Iglesia de la Encarnación, which towers over the old quarter with steep alleys and white houses. Olvera is especially known for its thick, delicious olive oil, considered one of the best in Spain.

Vía Verde de la Sierra Tunnels and Peñón de Zaframagón

Highlight • Cycleway

The Via Verde de la Sierra is a beautiful green route in Andalusia that starts in Puerto Serrano and ends in Olvera. This 36-kilometre route follows an old railway line that was built in the early 20th century between Jerez de la Frontera and Almargen. The route offers a unique combination of beautiful nature and historical sights, including the impressive Sierra de Cádiz and a large colony of Griffon Vultures.

The route is ideal for both walking and cycling and passes through several tunnels and viaducts, making it a unique experience. Along the way you will pass through smaller villages and peaceful landscapes, making it perfect for a relaxing adventure in nature.

Zaframagón Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

A 135-meter-long viaduct, built using rectangular truncated pyramidal pilasters with mortared ashlars, is formed by the repetition of seven identical arches.
It was built to span the Guadalporcún River crossing before it meets the Guadamanil River. The latter originates in the Sierra de la Lebrona mountain range in the municipality of Pruna (Seville) and flows into the Guadalporcún River just a few meters from the viaduct. The confluence of the rivers has created a wide floodplain.
From this railway infrastructure, there is a privileged view of the Estrechón Canyon, a natural passage carved by the Guadalporcún River to traverse the foothills of the Zaframagón Rock. Just below, on the left bank of the Guadalporcún, we find the ruined building of what was once the Zaframagón mill. A little further west, other ruins can be seen. It is a small town built for workers on the railway line construction site.

Peñón de Zaframagón Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Peña de Zaframagón is an impressive natural formation located in the Sierra de Grazalema, on the border of the provinces of Cádiz and Seville in Spain. This formation is one of the highest points in the region, with an altitude of 584 meters above sea level. The area is known for its sharp cliffs and the beautiful nature that surrounds it.
One of the highlights of the Peña de Zaframagón is the Garganta del Estrechón, a deep gorge carved by the Guadalporcún River. Here you will also find unique landscapes such as pools, marmitas de gigante (large kettles) and small waterfalls. The area is an important nature reserve and is home to various flora and fauna, including the largest colony of fulvus in Andalusia and one of the largest in Europe.

We didn't buy any ham in Puerto Serrano, but saw many grazing in the green meadows. At the end we had a delicious meal in the station …

October 12, 2022,Coripe - Olvera

For us, this Via Verde is one of the most impressive cycle paths on old railway lines in Spain.
The cycle path leads through a lonely, rugged and sparsely populated mountain region. The length of the Via Verde route from Olvera to Puerto Serrano is approximately 36 km and passes through four viaducts and thirty (30!) tunnels. From the former …

Hello Komootler, this tour cannot be topped. 75km, 30 tunnels and a 400 year old holm oak. According to the tunnel list, I cycled 12.9km in the tunnel. And then there are the many vultures in the air. In the information I learned that 400 vultures live in the area. A highly recommended tour that you shouldn't necessarily do in …

Olvera – 45 km (approx. 45 min) from Ronda – impresses even from afar with its postcard-perfect silhouette. The village lies in a gently rolling landscape dotted with olive groves at the foot of the Sierra Grazalema mountains. The region is known for its excellent olive oil. This is where the "Via Verde de la Sierra" begins.

Fantastic way over the Via verde, a car-free former railway line. Be sure to drive with good lighting, as you can hardly see oncoming traffic in the many tunnels. Caution because of zT. bumps especially in the tunnel. With that in mind, the trail is doable, mostly downhill and through beautiful countryside

From the former Olvera train station, you travel through a mountain range with a mighty rocky peak. Here, you can watch vultures circling.

An information center has been set up in the former Zaframagon train station where you can learn more about the vultures.

Hi Komootler, after the first part we cycled the other, much more beautiful part of the Via Verde de la Sierra today. On this approx. 20km section there are many tunnels and countless vultures to admire. Looking ahead, we had binoculars with us and could only marvel. We've already cycled a few railway lines in Spain, this section is by …
