Sports and leisure activities Province Of Jaén

The Vía Verde del Aceite (Green Route of Olive Oil) is a good 55-kilometre bicycle route that connects Jaén with Campo Real (province of Córdoba) following a railway line built between 1882 and 1893. The railway, which is now abandoned, was used to transport various metals, but above all olive oil to the port of Málaga and the southern markets. It can be reached from Martos, about 20 km west of Jaén (on the A316). This will be the opportunity to discover this town topped by the 13th century sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de la Villa.

This company, founded in 1965 by Juan Martínez Villacañas, known as Tito, potter and ceramist varnisher, is surely one of the most famous pottery workshops in Úbeda. While keeping part of the ancient Ibero-Moorish pottery tradition, he also endeavours to produce contemporary objects for current use. This work has been rewarded with two national handicraft awards, in 2006 and 2012. With one of his sons, Pablo, he even opened a museum. There is also a workshop and a shop where you are welcome.
