Monday Morning Photo - Via Verde de Aceite Bridge

Monday morning photo - Bridge on the Via Verde de Aceite at Estacion de Luque, just over the border from Jaén into Cordoba province. The Via Verdes are the old steam train routes, now for walkers and cyclists. A network of routes can be found across Spain.

Where to stay to walk on the Via Verde? Hacienda Hotel Minerva, which has a live Flamenco guitarist most Friday evenings is right on the Via Verde. (This is a Booking.com link, which may earn me a bit of commission to keep on exloring.)
