The section of the Tajuña Green Route in La Marañana de Carabaña runs along the old Vereda de Tielmes, now known as Camino de Vaciabotas. The Arganda railway ran along the opposite bank, where the Chávarri Central station is located. In the current section of the Green Route you can visit the historic Puente del Palo, of Roman origin, old mills and several dams and waterholes, one of them known as the Tajuña waterfall.

Perales de Tajuña is strategically located in the Tajuña valley, a passage for ancient Roman roads, pastoral paths and medieval paths that have attracted the interest of all the cultures that have inhabited the southeast of the province of Madrid since the Iberians. The Romans and the Arabs were the main creators of the network of dams and weirs that are still essential in the distribution of irrigation water in the Tajuña orchards. The town has streets that maintain the medieval layout on the side of the valley, they are narrow, stepped and steep, connected by ramps and steps. In the Plaza de la Constitución is the Town Hall, built in the time of Charles III in the old Council House. And nearby is the monumental Baroque style Mariblanca Fountain, called the Ball Game by the local population.

It is called that precisely because it took that long to build it (although in reality it was more days) but we can still enjoy its layout in some parts.
