A must-see to listen to the flow of the Pancrudo River. And seeing the beauty of the Jiloca River banks in autumn is special.

Unfortunately, there are still many interruptions on the almost 600 km long Via Verde Santander Mediterraneo railway line. It would be great to be able to travel from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean without car traffic. If this tourist potential is understood by the various regional parliaments, the entire cycling and gravel world would come to Spain and use this ingenious connection.

It is a cool place, with the mouth of the Pancrudo in the Jiloca and the passage of the Via Verde.

A city of transit since ancient times, Calamocha stands in the middle of the extensive plain of the Jiloca, on the right bank of the river. Its excellent geographical situation led to its being an important fortified enclave in the past. In fact, it was the city of El Cid passing through on his way to Valencian lands.

The Roman bridge of Luco de Jiloca joins both banks of the Pancrudo River and was part of the Roman road that linked César Augusta and Cástulo. It is dated in the I century, it may be later, and it has been recently restored. The arrangement of its arches and spillways indicate that it was designed for the flooding of the river, rather than to save its usual course.

This railway project from the beginning of the 20th century was intended to link the port of Santander with that of Sagunto. The idea was to build new links to use the already existing sections, especially between Calatayud and Sagunto. In 1959 the works were only 35 kilometers from Santander and the project was abandoned. In 1995 it was approved to remove the train tracks, although the works did not start until 2003. 20 years later the path for cyclists and walkers is already conditioned.
