Along the trenches
La Jarosa (I).
On this route there are a total of five explanatory milestones, the numbering of which can be seen next to the title of each one. A circular promenade is proposed, following the route marked by the old water path, to reach an area in which remains of fortifications from the Civil War are conserved. This gives a view of part of this little-known historical heritage of Guadarrama, and clearly illustrates what it meant to live life on this front during the war years.
Silver forest

In search of water

Origins of the town
Guadarrama.
A crossroads and passage between the plateaus, Guadarrama became a strategic place, where kings, nobility, merchants and travellers restored their strength on the difficult ascent to the Sierra. The passage of history has left traces and testimony of its beginnings. Let yourself be carried away by the history and heritage of this town.
The magic of the trees
