Tips

The brackish water spring that flows behind the church and the fact that it was under the rule of Doña Urraca, queen of León, give it the name Fuentidueña (Source of the Owner).

This town was already important in Al Andalus, since it had a castle. During the reconquest, the castle of Santiago was built, under the military order of the same name, which led the advance and defended the square.

Although the castle is in ruins, its proximity to the Tagus and its orchard give it a special charm.

The sensation of navigating on a bicycle through distant and exotic latitudes ends when the path leaves the valley of the Arroyo del Valle, passes through the A-3 tunnel and enters Fuentidueña de Tajo. The ruins of the castle mark the strategic position of the town on the river bank.

On the way up to the old fortress is the Fuente de la Dueña or Fuente Salobre, it is a limestone basin rebuilt in the 19th century that constitutes a key link in the historical foundations of the town. The “owner” of the spring and responsible for the name Fuentidueña was Doña Urraca, mistress of the castle for a while, formerly called Santiago and popularly known as Torre de Piquillos, a few ruins on the hill where the spring gushes.

The old watchtower, the fountain, the church of San Andrés and the Plaza de la Constitución, where the clock tower is located, make up a valuable heritage complex in one of the most important steps of the Cañada Real Soriana Oriental in the Madrid region of Las Vegas.
