An immense collapse of the Rivas cliffs has created a wonderful viewpoint at the confluence of the Manzanares and Jarama rivers. It is worth having to push the bike in this section, since it is impossible to ignore the panorama.

Be careful because the recent rains have caused a new landslide next to the previous one, and the road was closed by forest rangers.

The collapse, despite its few meters, a mix of hiking and carrying that raises the heart rate of even the most experienced, always offers one of the most picturesque views of the Madrid region near the capital: the confluence of the Manzanares and Jarama rivers, the Presa del Rey, a privileged panoramic view over parts of Rivas and Arganda, facing the mountains where much of the Battle of Jarama took place, and of course the cliffs. Having passed by there many times, it never leaves me indifferent.
