CARABA\u00d1A - CARABA\u00d1A<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Taju\u00f1a River and the 40-day train.<\/span><\/p>

Enjoy this experience, where you will discover the Taju\u00f1a River as it passes through Caraba\u00f1a and travel the greenway of the 40-day train.<\/span><\/p>

The route begins in Caraba\u00f1a, located on the banks of the river Taju\u00f1a, is known for its famous extra virgin olive oil and its famous purgative waters, whose spring is located on the hill of Cabeza Gorda.<\/span><\/p>

Leaving Caraba\u00f1a take the M-221 road towards Estremera. As soon as you take it, you will cross the Taju\u00f1a River, which runs through the provinces of Guadalajara and Madrid, being the second longest river in the Tagus basin, after the Tagus itself. Take the Vereda de la Pringue to begin the 40-day Via Verde train ride. Also called V\u00eda Negr\u00edn, it was built, they say, in only forty days to supply a besieged Madrid. A strategic railroad of ephemeral life, today part of its route is an escape route to the nearby capital and a peaceful walk through the agricultural territory of the southeast of Madrid.<\/span><\/p>

We are facing a harsh landscape of solitary beauty, eternally waiting for spring to wear its best clothes and surprise us with aromas and flowers. To prosper in such irregular terrain, the railroad was forced to excavate a series of trenches, whose cuts sectioned the hills of soft marl, limestone, clay or gypsum, exposing the varied colors of the earth's bowels.<\/span><\/p>

The next stop is the town of Estremera. The main heritage attractions of Estremera are especially related to the medieval period, especially the church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de los Remedios. Head towards Camilo Jos\u00e9 Cela street to leave Estremera, towards Valdaracete to return to the starting point, Caraba\u00f1a.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
