The "great" Muslim river dams allowed for an increase in the flow of the irrigation channels and marked the beginning of extensive agriculture in the Tajuña valley. The Azud de Vaciabotas is known as the "waterfall of Tajuña," it is the water intake of the Caz del Molino of the Tajuña river, it is also known as Azud del Molino because it is next to the old Molino Nuevo or Molino de la Isla, privately owned, documented in the Topographical Relations of Philip II.
place Otro Carabaña is one of the oldest towns in the Community of Madrid. The cycling route runs along the Greenway of Tajuña through a pleasant tree-lined path with a rest area and passes by the neoclassical bridge over the Tajuña River; numerous sources claim that the river crossing is of Roman origin and has undergone several reconstructions over time. The most significant rehabilitation was in the 18th century with limestone blocks in a setting of elms, giant poplars, and riverside vegetation that forms a true forest wall along the riverbanks.
