The Tajuña Valley has numerous rural roads and forest tracks that run parallel to the river for much of its length, but not all are continuous or always in good condition. The Tajuña River Nature Trail, officially documented as a long hiking route from its source to its mouth, passes through Loranca de Tajuña along its course.

The starting point is the Plaza de la Villa, following the main street to the outskirts of the town, where the interpretation stands are located.

La Pica may be the largest and oldest oak tree in the fields and forests of Madrid. It has been declared a Singular Tree by the Community of Madrid since 1992. It is an extraordinary forest monument, named by poets such as Antonio Machado and featured in numerous nature and environmental documentaries. Its estimated age is around three hundred years. It must have been born in the mid-eighteenth century. The trunk has a perimeter of four metres and a height of twenty metres, with a crown projection of five hundred square metres. It is a true jewel of forest nature.

The viewpoint is on the edge of the moor, above the slopes of oaks and holm oaks of the Val stream, and has beautiful views of the slopes of the valley and the white hamlet of Olmeda de las Fuentes.

The unique urban style of Nuevo Baztán maintains the original Baroque model from the beginning of the 18th century, designed by José de Churriguera by order of Juan de Goyeneche, who had permission from Charles II to build glass, paper and textile factories on Spanish territory. The Navarrese businessman was originally from Arizkun, in the Baztán Valley, but spent time in Madrid because he had other properties and professional relations with the Court. He chose the site of Madrid's Alcarria to found an industrial and rural centre in honour of his homeland and commissioned the Madrid architect to build a glass factory, a farming village of half a thousand inhabitants, a palace, a monumental church and gardens with centuries-old pines and elms. The town preserves cobbled streets, stone squares, rural buildings from the time of its foundation, between 1709 and 1713, and palace gardens, a beautiful heritage complex declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1941 and a Site of Cultural Interest in 2000.

A village in the Campiña del Henares in the Alcarria region of Madrid, it is a place hidden between the plain and the moor that keeps many secrets, not only the popular “secret of Anchuelo”, which is an old legend of shepherds who told their personal secrets out loud. Anchuelo has an agricultural tradition, it preserves many peasant houses made of adobe and tiled roofs, secluded squares with fountains and gardens, wine cellars and narrow streets adapted to the slope of the land. The parish church preserves a rural Gothic style, it was built in the 15th century, and the hermitage of the Virgen de la Oliva is also part of the local artistic heritage.

The extraction of gravel and construction materials was a significant industrial resource in the town of Anchuelo until the mid-20th century, when it was abandoned due to lack of profitability and limited possibilities of competing with the large mining companies that were settling in the plains and moors of the southeast of the province of Madrid.
