The land of the former railway line between Linares and the Linares-Baeza Station forms the Camino de Úbeda Greenway. It presents a series of interesting natural, historical, and scenic features, which can be made known to the public by renovating this greenway with educational content and reforestation. The route has significant scenic potential and can also serve as a leisure and recreation area for the citizens of the Municipality of Linares and the surrounding region. The very nature of the route is ideal for the establishment of a greenway that acts as a link between a large number of routes, sites, and elements of interest that currently exist in the surrounding area and that would otherwise go unnoticed. These interactions can also continue with another greenway that begins at the end of this route: the Guadalimar Greenway.

The greenways have been established as recreational infrastructure and transformed into healthy trails, featuring elements aimed at environmental outreach, implemented in our project with students as part of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Service Learning (SLL).

It is a somewhat neglected area, with erosion and landslides, road surface problems, and damage from vandalism over several years. In addition, intensive reforestation is necessary. Collaboration with other educational centers to carry this out has been a success, always supported by the City Council, which has also been heavily involved.

This project has proposed measures aimed at disseminating the area's values, highlighting the creation of an itinerary with educational stops and interpretive panels, allowing the greenway to act not only as a route, but also as a space for environmental education and knowledge of the environment, its unique features, and its history. Considering all of the above, this paper, after analyzing the current situation of the route, proposes measures to adapt its route and disseminate its main values.

Finally, integrating the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda is crucial in any type of project, and even more so in the one we are dealing with. Several of them have been integrated, and we would like to highlight number 11, which is bringing natural spaces closer to cities, and number 17, which is seeking alliances and collaborations to achieve our goals.
