What everyone knows as the Roman road, with the Descalzo bridges and the Enmedio bridge, is not a Roman road. It is a path built by Felipe V at the beginning of the 18th century. The true Roman road is the Camino Viejo de Segovia, the proof is that 100 meters from Puerto de La Fuenfría on the Madrid side, the Bourbon road passes over it.

With the original paving, even on the sides.

Luarca, I don't know if you're entirely right about what you say. Obviously, the Descalzo and Enmedio areas are in very good condition. There are other areas very close to them, where the manner and style of a Roman road is much more clearly visible (in my opinion). On the Segovia side, this is much more clearly visible. And that's despite the fact that both the road and Casa Eraso were used at the beginning of the last century, people from La Granja used to come up with carts to get off these constructions, more or less carved stones, for their own buildings. The Camino Viejo del Paular, which passes through Cotos, is also known as the "Camino Viejo de Segovia." Are there two "Caminos..." with the same name on both sides?
