Conexión con Larva (C9)

A linear route of 3.68 km that connects the ciclable C7 with the municipality of Larva, by a 100% asphalt route, with soft levels and very accessible character. It is a short tour, ideal as a link section within the cycloturist network or as a quiet exit to discover the open landscape of the eastern sector of Sierra Magina. The route starts on the JV-3213 road, next to the bridge over the railway tracks, and is heading north towards Larva. The first meters run parallel to the railway line, accompanied by a carrasco pinar that brings shade and freshness. In this section you will travel through the Cordel del Camino de Ubeda to Cabra, an old pecuaria road that adds a clear historical and ethnographic value to the journey. As you advance, the landscape opens between splits and olive groves, with constant views of Sierra Magina on the left and the hills of the Sierra de Larva on the right. After passing by the Cortijo de San Pedro, a living example of the olive culture, the tour gains visual amplitude: the olive sea of La Loma appears and, at the bottom, the summits of the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas. In the final section, after leaving behind the Cortijo de Caro, the slope gradually increases and the ascent to Larva begins, with wide panoramic views of the Jiennense olive and the reliefs that close the horizon. The route concludes in Larva, a quiet village that invites you to walk and complete the day with a visit to its natural environment, such as the La Cañada area. General recommendations Route suitable for all types of public and road or gravel bicycles. Caution at the beginning, next to the JV-3213. On hot days, the shadow is limited outside the initial pinar. It is recommended to bring sufficient water and always respect the rural environment and the livestock routes.
