View of the Sierra de Guadarrama from Tres Cantos

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tres cantos is in a privileged enclave for cycling.
The Colmenar bike lane opens up a world of possibilities for cyclotourism or road biking, while for MTB we can take advantage of its proximity to Soto de Viñuelas, the Canal de Isabel II, the Colmenar Viejo meadows and a long etcetera. .

Valdelagua Geodetic Vertex with Views of the Sierra de Guadarrama

Highlight • Viewpoint

Geodesic Vertex of Valdelagua, built on August 19, 1976. Located on a small hill of uncultivated land, with some chaparros.
Access: from San Agustín de Guadalix, along the road to Colmenar Viejo, upon reaching Km. 9,600, you enter on the left along a road with an indicator for "C.I. II Canal de El Atazar". At 400 m. it turns to the left, after 4 km it forks; continue to the left, then the road opens in two to join again after 5.3 km, after 5.6 km there is a crossroads, continue straight, after 8 km turn left through the ravine and after 8.2 km you reach the signal, which is about 5 m. on the left.

Valcaliente Aqueduct

Highlight • Monument

Part of the Canal Bajo, it is one of the three most picturesque aqueducts and one of the oldest still in operation, together with the Sima and Retuerta aqueducts. You will pass under it and deserve to appreciate a true work of engineering that is still standing after so many years.
