This lagoon is artificial, created from the extraction of aggregates in the Jarama River basin during the 1960s and 1970s. It is an ideal place to enjoy nature, hike, or cycle. The lagoon's perimeter measures approximately 5.5 km, and its average depth is 6 meters, although in some areas it can reach 20 meters. It also has a natural resources interpretation center that organizes workshops and educational activities.

The Campillo Lagoon is located in Rivas Vaciamadrid, within the Southeast Regional Park, about 20 km from Madrid. It is a protected natural area, ideal for peaceful walks and outdoor activities. Origin: Artificial, formed in the 1960s and 70s after the extraction of aggregates in the Jarama River basin. Water from the aquifer filled the excavations and over time became a wetland with great biodiversity.

In the case of Palomeras Linear Park, the closest equivalent to a greenway is its integration within Madrid's Green Cycling Ring, a large 64-km circular route connecting the city's natural spaces. The park doesn't officially have its own greenway, but it does include a section of the Green Ring, which functions practically as one: a safe bike lane, natural scenery, and non-motorized traffic.

September 10, 2025, Manzanares River

The Manzanares is a river in the central Iberian Peninsula, a right tributary of the Jarama, which in turn is a tributary of the Tagus. This river, which flows entirely through the Community of Madrid (Spain), rises in the Guadarrama mountain range, in the Ventisquero de la Condesa—the southern slope of the Cuerda Larga, near the Bola del Mundo—and flows through the city of Madrid. It empties into the Jarama River, in the municipality of Rivas-Vaciamadrid, after a journey of 92 kilometers. The river hosts different ecosystems and flows through areas of great environmental value, which have received different levels of protection. Its upper basin, from its source to El Pardo Mountain (including La Pedriza), constitutes the Upper Manzanares Basin Regional Park, with an area of 52,796 hectares. Its lower course is also protected, within the Southeast Regional Park. In its urban course, the Manzanares River is the result of decades of channeling and damming work. However, in 2016, the river level was returned to its original level near Madrid by opening the regulating floodgates, resulting in an increase in biological diversity in this section.
