Today I walked the Carcabuey to Los Villares section of this Camino, also called "La Via Verde". Subbetica is the most southern section of the Province of Cordoba and produces some of the finest olive oil in the world.
In the photos you will see how old the olives are by their gnarled trunks, how stoney the ground is and an example of the spring water that seeps up everywhere in the valleys and is probably pumped up the hills to irrigate when necessary. Perfect conditions for mediterranean crops and the perfect "bush-walk" for a fruit tree fanatic.

I can see why you liked it! If the olive oil is that good, see if you can bring a bottle home. :-)
