Easy About this route
The ancient railways built in Las Vegas de Madrid between the 19th and 20th centuries to connect the region with the capital, simultaneously allowing the exit of industrial and agricultural products, are now converted into bicycle paths and greenways perfect for bicycle routes of different levels and content.
An interesting route starts from the municipality of Tielmes, of Roman origin and with interesting medieval heritage, and runs along a stretch of the Tajuña Greenway to Carabaña. It then continues along the first conditioned part of the 40 Days Train to the village of Valdaracete.
The route departs from the stone bridge of Tajuña and at the junction of the hermitage of San Isidro begins a rural path that ascends to the viewpoint of the bench “Tielmes is heart”, with an extraordinary panoramic view of the urban ensemble on the hillside of the valley. The Greenway passes through the cozy spot of the hermitage of the Holy Children and at the municipal boundary is the Vaciabotas Weir, known as the “waterfall” of Tajuña.
The streets of Carabaña are outside the route, on the other side of the river Tajuña. It is one of the oldest populations in the Community of Madrid and to enter, one must cross the Tajuña bridge, of Roman origin and reconstructed in the 18th century.
Upon leaving Carabaña towards the junction of the road that connects the municipality with Estremera, there is a junction shaped like a “Y” that leads to the next municipality: Orusco. In the stretch between Carabaña and Orusco, the route runs between excavated rock walls for the railway, occasionally passing under stone bridges. This is one of the most photogenic and unique stretches. Finally, the Greenway enters Orusco heading south, continuing after passing the village in a southwest direction towards Ambite.
Warning: shared space with motor vehicles.

place Otro Vaciabotas Weir
The "azudes" are original from the Arab period, improving the previous irrigation systems of the Romans. The "great" Muslim river dams allowed increasing the flow of the ditches and was 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 Bridge
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.
