Tips from the Community
Very nice tour, I liked it, although there was a bit of a bad smell from the company before crossing the bridge. Also, I found areas of the path damaged and/or blocked by logs and pebbles. It was hard for me to finish the return route. But overall, I was satisfied with the route.

The Campillo Lagoon is located in Rivas Vaciamadrid, within the Southeast Regional Park, about 20 km from Madrid. It is a protected natural area, ideal for peaceful walks and outdoor activities. Origin: Artificial, formed in the 1960s and 70s after the extraction of aggregates in the Jarama River basin. Water from the aquifer filled the excavations and over time became a wetland with great biodiversity.

The Campillo Lagoon is located in the Southeast Regional Park, in the Spanish municipality of Rivas-Vaciamadrid, in the Community of Madrid. Its origin lies in the former gravel quarrying that took place in the Jarama River basin during the 1960s and 70s. Excavation went below the water table, and when quarrying ceased and the surrounding area was restored, this lagoon emerged, measuring approximately 4 kilometers in diameter and covering 35 hectares. After El Porcal Lagoon, it is the largest lagoon in the Southeast Regional Park. A peaceful place to relax, with numerous benches.

The unique urban style of Nuevo Baztán maintains the original Baroque model from the beginning of the 18th century, designed by José de Churriguera by order of Juan de Goyeneche, who had permission from Charles II to build glass, paper and textile factories on Spanish territory. The Navarrese businessman was originally from Arizkun, in the Baztán Valley, but spent time in Madrid because he had other properties and professional relations with the Court. He chose the site of Madrid's Alcarria to found an industrial and rural centre in honour of his homeland and commissioned the Madrid architect to build a glass factory, a farming village of half a thousand inhabitants, a palace, a monumental church and gardens with centuries-old pines and elms. The town preserves cobbled streets, stone squares, rural buildings from the time of its foundation, between 1709 and 1713, and palace gardens, a beautiful heritage complex declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1941 and a Site of Cultural Interest in 2000.
