This spectacular bridge is almost hidden from view and serves as an excuse to cross the Tagus River from one bank to the other. It is very well preserved and is located next to several striking rock faces.

What an exclusive paradise and privileged setting this lagoon has, whose waters come almost exclusively from underground seepage. Swimming is permitted in this lagoon, but recreational diving is prohibited.

This is undoubtedly one of the Tagus's great wonders. Crossing the beautiful river on a suspension bridge like this one, where motor vehicles are prohibited, reduces the number of crossing options. Walkers and cyclists can enjoy the oscillating motion experienced by the bridge's anchorage. Absolutely recommended!

This suspension bridge is truly a symbol of the area, allowing you to cross the river from one bank to the other with truly unique views. As you ride your bike across, you can observe the movement and the noise caused by the weight of the straps. If you don't suffer from heights of height, you can enjoy the Tagus River from there.

Also known as Laguna de la Parra, it is a concentration of crystal-clear waters, primarily groundwater. This accumulation of clean water allows for swimming and other activities related to the environment, such as hiking; however, recreational diving is prohibited.

Peñalén Bridge or Tío Lucas Bridge. It was built in 1943. It is over the Tagus River just before the Valdepedro Strait, next to the extraordinary rocks called Los Picones de San Pedro. It is a place of extraordinary beauty. A few meters below, the Cabrillas River flows into the Tagus.
