Estrecho del Horcajo Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

This viewpoint is located in a privileged place in front of a spectacular rocky cliff, which if you pass by on your bike on a hot day when the heat reflects its image on this wall... I think you'll have to stop and rest for a few seconds.

Laguna de Taravilla

Highlight • Lake

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.

Suspension bridge over the River Tajo

Casas del Salto Rural Accommodation and Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

They are a series of rural houses called "El Salto" (The Salto) located in a privileged setting, very close to the Tajo suspension bridge, and are accessed from the road via a dirt forest track. This place also has a small restaurant where you can have lunch and spend some pleasant moments.

Trail along the Tajo River

Highlight (Segment) • River

This descending valley, which runs alongside the Tagus River for many kilometres, is full of unique and unrepeatable corners, due to the capricious formations that occur every few metres.

Valsalobre

Highlight • Settlement

It's a small town with few inhabitants and little social life, and an elderly population.
It has running water, like most towns in the area, and a church in reasonable condition. It's an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the world for a few hours. The only bar was closed the day I visited.

Beteta

Highlight • Settlement

A beautiful village built on a promontory where its castle serves as a lookout for the population.
It can be seen from a distance, where there is also a beautiful church in the center of town. This village is the only one with a gas station in the area.

Stage 3 Empty Mountains: Checa-Beteta, 107 km and 1,643 m of positive gradient

We were lucky again, because despite starting the day with rain, after the first 5 km, the rain stopped and we did not get wet until the end of the stage. The first part of the route was on asphalt, but once we entered the Tajo River …
