Description
The Centre for Interpreting the Camineria de La Cerradura (Pegalajar, Jaén) has a wide collection of the different milestones that have directed the travelers along the Spanish roads along history, from the most common to the more unique, some almost unique. It is complemented by several panels that provide the visitor with explanations about the history of the walk, with special attention to the evolution of the communication routes of the region in which it is located.
The space combines its divulgative and exhibition character with a recreational and seasonal function, so it has banks, lighting, rails, bicycle parking, abundant trees and a lateral caz from which comes a continuous murmur of running water, providing the visitor with a pleasant atmosphere, even in the central hours of the hot summer days. The idea of this Center for the Interpretation of the Camineria, pioneer in Spain, part of Mr Enrique Escobedo Molinos, Official Chronist of the Clock, who for decades has been involved in the recovery, conservation and value of the Roman militaries discovered on the banks of the Guadalbullion River as they pass through La Clock.
The centre is located in a residual section without service of the N-323, which was left out of use after the works to improve the road as it passes through La Cerradura. The works consisted of the conditioning of 34 kilometres of the N-323 road in a section that runs along the banks of the Guadalbullion River, with a route conditioned by the river course. In La Cerradura, a variant was built that suppressed the passage of the road through the rural core. The last meters of the old layout on the south end were out of use, since the difference of the heights with the new variant prevented the connection of both tracks, and it is precisely this section that hosts the center of interpretation. This is, in the end, a space aimed at the conservation and dissemination of the road heritage, whose visit is recommended to all people interested in the history of the road.
