The path enters San Martín de Valdeiglesias through the hermitage of Cristo de la Sangre and runs through the streets of the town up to the hill where the Coracera castle is located. The medieval fortress is the monumental jewel of the local heritage, it was built by order of Don Álvaro de Luna when he bought the town from the monks of Santa María la Real, in the 15th century, although there was already a tower from the 12th century.

This fortress, built in the 15th century, is in a good state of preservation, as a result of several rehabilitation works. The name "de la Coracera" comes from one of its former owners, Antonio Corcuera, whose surname would have degenerated over time.
