Fecha de emisión: May 29, 2003

Our tour starts in Zarzalejo, at the foot of Las Machotas. The Cruz Verde pass receives a multitude of motorcycles at its top, a traditional meeting place to get to know the area. Then, Santa María de la Alameda and the neighborhood of Las Herreras, where the Cofio River flows... and also the railroad, which has connected El Escorial and Ávila for more than 140 years. Robledo de Chavela and its great Gothic church is our next destination, and a little further south, the hill of La Almenara. Valdemaqueda and its pine forests lead us to the Alberche River, which opens into the reservoir of San Juan, the only one in the Community where bathing and the practice of all water sports is authorized. San Martín de Valdeiglesias greets the Sierra de Gredos, and there we can see the famous bulls of Guisando.
