Located on the right bank of the Júcar River, the town is surrounded by countless green routes along which Roman roads once passed. It is worth seeing the Church of the Purísima Concepción, the Roman bridge, the El Santo Natural Park and Alcalá del Júcar.

Nice dirt road between Las Mariquillas and Valdeganga, which passes along the bank of the Júcar River. Enjoy the shade and head to the water to wet your feet and cool off on a hot day.

Beautiful baroque church dedicated to Saints San Pedro and San Pablo in the center of Madrigueras. Right next to it is the curious building of the town hall.

Asphalted path through the Júcar river gorge. We can observe the impressive rocky walls. Magnificent views.

Place where the N-322 road crosses the river Júcar. Parallel to the road there is an old bridge if you want to stop - on the national road there can be quite a bit of traffic.
