The route

The greenway that follows the old Arganda railway along the Tajuña valley, to the south-east of Madrid. It is almost all flat or gently sloping, on compacted dirt with the odd tarmac section. It passes Morata de Tajuña, Perales, Tielmes, Carabaña and Orusco, with vegetable plots, poplar groves and gypsum cliffs on either side. In nearly every village you'll find a fountain, a bar and some shade, so you can ride it with kids or on a leisure bike and turn back wherever you like. Spring and autumn are the best times to ride it. In summer, go first thing in the morning, because the valley gets hot. You can reach Arganda del Rey by metro (line 9) and start from there.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (Ruta Verde 3.3 of the regional cycling network) (ODbL).
