This curious name is how cyclists and hikers in the area refer to this entertaining path that follows the course of the Aulencia River from the dam. It has it all: narrow parts, some sections with more lush vegetation, stone walls...

At this modest elevation of 846 meters above sea level you will find a geodesic vertex and beautiful views of the landscape that surrounds you, which can be seen without problem due to the height of this projection, caused by a notable vein of quartz. From this height, where there is also an uninhabited house, we can see several points of interest, such as the city of Madrid, El Escorial or Abantos, or part of the Guadarrama mountain range, among which the peaks of La Maliciosa stand out, Iron Heads or Seven Peaks.

Even very close to highly urbanized areas, the Guadarrama River continues to offer beautiful scenery and a pleasant walk.

This reservoir is merely ornamental. Even so, over time it has become a beautiful place where various specimens of aquatic birds have made their home.

Nice views of the La Hoz Reservoir, from the dam, and from the bridge that crosses it from the La Hoz Urbanization.

The Virgen del Retamar Recreational Area is located in the vicinity of Las Rozas de Madrid, specifically a little before reaching the Molino de la Hoz urbanization, from the M-505, the road that goes to Escorial you will reach a roundabout where it is indicated the historic bridge and the access to some nurseries, there, before crossing the cobbled board of the Retamar bridge there is a dirt track on the right that leads to a parking lot where you can leave the vehicles, there are several information panels that indicate the importance of this stretch of the Guadarrama River, as well as the history of the bridge and certain civic indications of the use of the recreational area.

The Retamar Bridge is from the 18th century. It is located in the vicinity of the Molino de la Hoz urbanization, next to the M-505 regional road, on the border of Las Rozas and Galapagar. It is so called because the old village of Santa María del Retamar was here, abandoned at the end of the 14th century. The area is also called "Rio Chico" after the old restaurant at the end of the bridge. https://bigjoe.es
