When a tree has its own name, it is for something. This oak is known as 'The Invincible' and is over 200 years old. It is 15 meters high, has a 20 meter diameter crown and a pyramidal trunk that branches four meters from the ground. As a curiosity, to say that it was cloned in 2018. The Community of Madrid created a genetic bank of unique trees in the region in order to be able to clone them in case they become ill or die and thus maintain this valuable natural heritage. https://bigjoe.es

The municipal swimming pool cafeteria, renovated a few years ago, is always a good place to have a drink and take a short break on the route. At night it is usually crowded, especially in the summer. https://bigjoe.es
