Lime kilns of Quijorna

Curiosity · Quijorna, Cuenca del Guadarrama, Madrid

Image of Quijorna, not of the place itself.

The municipal district came to have some five hundred lime kilns, and the loaded carts set out from here for the works on the monastery of El Escorial; the activity shaped the municipality's landscape and economy for centuries.
