Stage 14: from Aldea del Fresno to Navalcarnero

Description

This stage begins with a fairly steep slope but, do not worry because it is short. To begin you have to ascend to the well visible water tank that is in the upper part of Aldea del Fresno. From there the road is very soft and runs through areas of Mediterranean forest very attractive. Practically all the way to Villamanta is made by a forest track between large estates, some of them dedicated to the breeding of livestock. One of these estates, located to the right of the road in the direction of Villamanta, belongs to the Valquejigoso Winery, one of the most spectacular wineries you can find in Spain, run by a team that takes care of every detail, making wines that are sold in between world. The winery is built under exceptional quality parameters and is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Arriving at Villamanta, you will see that the firm is more stony and that the route traverses zones excavated in "trench". You are in one of the sections of the old Madrid - Almorox train line, a train that operated from July 1891 between Madrid and Villa del Prado. In 1901 it reached the Toledo town of Almorox. It stopped working in 1970 in full. You can still see some standing stations, including Villamanta. From Villamanta, the road is once again on the rise. It does not have large slopes, but now, the uphill is relatively long, so be patient. To this uphill one happens to him a section with relatively steep descents in way with good firm and brief sections in ascension until arriving at Navalcarnero by the known like Way of the Mingo. When you arrive in Navalcarnero, head to Segovia Square, the city's nerve center. There you can enjoy a beautiful square castellana porticada in three of its four sides, as well as its historical center, its interpretation center and its wine museum.
