Valmores Trail

The Senda de Valmores is a short circular hiking trail located in Nuevo Baztán, in the Community of Madrid, with an approximate distance of 5.5-5.6 km according to the descriptions consulted. It starts from the historic center or its immediate surroundings and is part of the network of trails of the Community of Madrid, so it is proposed as a signposted itinerary for public use for walks and half-day excursions. The route enters the valley of Valmores and the Alcarria Madrileña, a landscape of moors, alcarrias and slopes shaped by natural erosion and human action. Several describe the route as a low to medium difficulty itinerary, with an appreciable slope in some sections, especially in the final part, and with less comfort on hot days or after rains. The most interesting thing for the visitor is the combination of nature and heritage: from the path you can recognize the open character of the landscape, the Mediterranean vegetation of the area and, in some sections, wide views over the rural environment of the southeast of Madrid. In addition, the itinerary links up with a visit to the historical site of Nuevo Baztán, a very unique place due to its industrial and monumental origins. The route is of interest for being one of the most representative options to get to know the immediate natural environment of the town without going too far away from the urban center. Its value lies both in the scenic walk and in the reading of the territory it offers between the historic town and the valley, within a municipality declared a Historic-Artistic Site.
