This spectacular bridge is almost hidden from view and serves as an excuse to cross the Tagus River from one bank to the other. It is very well preserved and is located next to several striking rock faces.

They are a series of rural houses called "El Salto" (The Salto) located in a privileged setting, very close to the Tajo suspension bridge, and are accessed from the road via a dirt forest track. This place also has a small restaurant where you can have lunch and spend some pleasant moments.

This viewpoint is located in a privileged place in front of a spectacular rocky cliff, which if you pass by on your bike on a hot day when the heat reflects its image on this wall... I think you'll have to stop and rest for a few seconds.

This descending valley, which runs alongside the Tagus River for many kilometres, is full of unique and unrepeatable corners, due to the capricious formations that occur every few metres.

What an exclusive paradise and privileged setting this lagoon has, whose waters come almost exclusively from underground seepage. Swimming is permitted in this lagoon, but recreational diving is prohibited.

This is undoubtedly one of the Tagus's great wonders. Crossing the beautiful river on a suspension bridge like this one, where motor vehicles are prohibited, reduces the number of crossing options. Walkers and cyclists can enjoy the oscillating motion experienced by the bridge's anchorage. Absolutely recommended!

This part of the Tagus River is full of ponds and fords for swimming in the Tagus River.

It's not advisable to even look inside, as it's clearly visible from the dirt road, giving the impression that much of the mountain is hollow, and rainwater seepage creates these caves that form the stalactites and stalagmites. This small cavity has surely been forming for hundreds of years.
