ベルソサデルロゾヤの峡谷・トップ4

Beautiful views of the Lozoya reservoir

On the Puebla de la Sierra highway you come across this viewpoint over the Puebla river gorge. The landscape is overwhelming. The vertical walls of bare rock stand before the green ridges of the mountains and the sky. It is an ideal place to immortalize with a photograph.

The Lozoya is an important tributary of the Jarama along whose 91 kilometer route six reservoirs have been built. Right at this point, the valley takes the shape of a canyon due to its proximity to the El Villar reservoir, where the course of the river narrows to a great extent.

The Cañada de la Caleriza is a winding path that runs along the banks of the Lozoya River. This section coincides with the beginning of the GR 88, which runs through the provinces of Madrid, Segovia and Guadalajara. The Lozoya is a tributary of the Jarama along whose 91-kilometer route six reservoirs have been built.

Path along the Loyaza river

The road here is very winding. The incredible landscape to be photographed.

A very well preserved dam, it is currently the oldest working dam in the entire region. The views down from the bridge across it or up the stairs from the top are amazing. It is very worth it. Just down the road is a lovely picnic spot with benches under the pine trees.

This reservoir is the oldest (still in operation) in the Community of Madrid. Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1873, with a design that was innovative for its time. Later, a canal was created that brings water directly to the city of Madrid from this reservoir.
