Description:
Simple route that runs along paths and alleys in the surroundings of Torrejón el Rubio. It is also ideal for mountain biking, given its low mileage and low degree of difficulty. The only possible difficulty is that you have to ford the Arroyo Retuerta, and depending on the time of year it can be quite wet or completely dry.
The main attractions of this route are the pastures and the views of the Sierra de las Corchuelas and Santa Catalina, and the Salto del Gitano. On the way back, we will pass by the remains of the atapulgite mines, a mining operation that was of great importance in Torrejón el Rubio during the second half of the last century.
