This section is popular with cyclists due to the allure of the tunnels and the gorge carved by the old railway line through the gypsum and esparto grass hillsides and ravines. The railway tunnels and cuttings are impressive constructions, both for their design and their railway efficiency. They facilitate the passage of trains across steep terrain and maintain a gentle, accessible gradient in challenging areas, with raised sections of the ground to reduce noise and visual impact in environmentally sensitive locations.

The route continues along the route of the 40 Day Train and rural roads to the streets of Estremera, passes through El Parque and leaves the town through the Plaza de San Isidro, where there are several stately homes. On Church Street is the Casa de las Columnas, an old century palace with a Renaissance façade from the 16th century and other mansions from the 18th and 19th centuries. In the Plaza Mayor is the Remedios church, which houses the oldest baroque organ in the Community of Madrid, and the Town Hall, with a porticoed façade. The route leaves Estremera along the Tajo Natural Trail, crosses the Illana road and detours towards Brea de Tajo through the Vega de Brea valley.

Uclés Trail

Highlight • Trail

In the agricultural wastelands of Valdaracete, a striking journey towards the Tagus River begins through a curious landscape of clay hills and whitish marls in a desert and steppe environment, especially in the hard slides of Cerro de la Muela, a desert in Las Vegas, where the gypsum gullies that can become hell for pedaling on rainy days. The sensation of navigating a bicycle through distant and exotic latitudes ends when the road leaves the valley of the Valle stream, passes through the A-3 tunnel and ends in Fuentidueña de Tajo.

Tajo Pitch
Kilometer 50.5

At the entrance to Brea de Tajo, before reaching the La Plaza area, the route turns to the right towards the cemetery. At the exit of the town there is an intersection with the information panel for the Ruta de las Campillas and other local hiking itineraries. The road ascends through the agricultural plain to the municipal limit, where the Cañada Real Soriana Oriental appears from the Alcarria de Guadalajara. The start sign for the Natural Trail of the Cattle Canyon is not exactly at the crossroads of the livestock track, you have to turn left and climb a small slope to see the information panel and milestone 0 of the red posts.

The landscape is a suggestive horizon of agricultural hills of red and gray clay dedicated to cereal cultivation mixed with the brown forests of kermes oaks and holm oaks common in the steppe mountains of the southeast of Madrid. On the first descent, the ruins of the Chozo del Callejón appear in a tilled field on the left, among wild almond trees and aromatic plants. The old stone walls are lonely and isolated, a melancholic evocation of the old pastoral huts that filled the ditches of the great transhumant routes and were essential for the assistance and survival of the flocks during the pastoral adventure. The current road of the royal canyon is a magnificent dirt and gravel track on the original width of the livestock route, a strip of 90 Castilian varas (75 meters), which was the official width of the royal canyons.
