Historical milestone · Morata de Tajuña, Las Vegas, Madrid

Image of Morata de Tajuña, not of the place itself.

The extension of the narrow-gauge railway that ran from Madrid towards Arganda reached the village in 1901 and gave it a mixed passenger and goods station. The line sustained the valley's economy until its decline in the 1950s.
