Easy and comfortable route along this old railway line

For its tower, which is worth visiting, and its tree-lined plaza where you can relax in the shade.

The Tower is the icon of Villarejo de Salvanés, it is a unique model of a keep among the constructions of medieval fortresses. Around it there are remains of the walls and rooms that completed the complex of the old castle of the town, occupied for several centuries by the knights of the Order of Santiago. The Plaza de la Constitución concentrates a good part of the monumental Villarejo de Salvanés, opposite the Tower is the church of San Andrés Apóstol, imposing and with tower-shaped buttresses that give a defensive appearance to the building. And one corner is occupied by the Casa de la Tercia, headquarters of the Encomienda Mayor de Castilla and current Ethnographic Museum. An interesting place for fans of the seventh art is the Museo del Cine, the first professional film museum in Spain.

It is called that precisely because it took that long to build it (although in reality it was more days) but we can still enjoy its layout in some parts.

It is a shame that only the keep of the entire walled building is preserved, but it is also fortunate to miss out on enjoying this architectural beauty, whose shape is peculiar and unusual in this type of fortress.

Take advantage of this bridge over the Tajuña Greenway to rest in the shade, something rare on this route! These bridges were used to cross the old train track that is now converted into the green cycling route.

Due to the characteristics of the terrain, caves have been built throughout history, which have served very different purposes. In this area we have clear examples.

The castle of Zorita de los Canes stands on a hill on one of the banks of the Tagus River. It is a fortification of Arab origin built in the 9th century.
