Greenway of the Tajuña

Activity · Ambite, Las Vegas, Madrid

The Vía Verde del Tajuña is a cycling and walking route of about 49 kilometres that starts in Arganda del Rey and ends in Ambite, in the Comunidad de Madrid, following the route of the old Tajuña sugar-beet railway, opened in 1901 and closed to passengers in 1953; it runs parallel to the river through a landscape of vegas and brings travellers close to towns with rich traditions such as Morata de Tajuña, Tielmes and Carabaña. After leaving Arganda and climbing to the Valderrivas cement works, it descends to Morata de Tajuña and continues through Perales de Tajuña, Tielmes and Carabaña to Ambite, with the old station converted into a bar and municipal swimming pool. The route, opened in 2007, is paved and signposted, although on some stretches it is shared with motor vehicles.
