Iron Bridge of Fuentidueña de Tajo

Highlight • Bridge

The Fuentidueña de Tajo bridge is an engineering work from the mid-19th century that restored the passage through this river on the way to Cuenca. It is the oldest large metal bridge in Madrid.
This work allowed communications to be modernized at the time of its execution.

Uclés Trail

Highlight • Trail

In the agricultural wastelands of Valdaracete, a striking journey towards the Tagus River begins through a curious landscape of clay hills and whitish marls in a desert and steppe environment, especially in the hard slides of Cerro de la Muela, a desert in Las Vegas, where the gypsum gullies that can become hell for pedaling on rainy days. The sensation of navigating a bicycle through distant and exotic latitudes ends when the road leaves the valley of the Valle stream, passes through the A-3 tunnel and ends in Fuentidueña de Tajo.

Junction of the Tajuña Greenway and the Tren de los 40 Días Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

Crossroads between the greenways of the Tajuña and the 40-day train. The route of the second was a branch of the Tajuña that was intended to connect with Levante. Today this greenway crosses various cultivated fields, mainly olive groves and cereals, and connects various towns in the southeast of Madrid.

Tajuña Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

Here the railway line runs very close to the Río Tajuña, which gives it its name. While the surrounding valley slopes are dry and barren, the river valley is unexpectedly fertile and lush. Poplars swaying in the wind, olive groves, wide fields - you don't expect so much green here.

Chapel of the Holy Children

Highlight • Religious Site

This beautiful hermitage, located next to the Greenway, is dedicated to the Holy Children, patron saints of the neighboring town of Tielmes, but also of Alcalá de Henares, whose cathedral is under their patronage. I leave the story in the link. A good place to take a break in the middle of the Tajuña Greenway

Fantastic way to cycle, without worrying about cars. Very far from the road, it allows you to enjoy the countryside. Very well paved, perfect for riding a road bike.
