Tielmes

We drive on the A-3 highway from Madrid and get off in the beautiful Las Vegas Valley only 35 minutes from Madrid city center. The valley is referred to as "Madrid´s Tuscany", lined with rolling hills full of ancient olive trees and vineyards. This area was known as Madrid´s breadbasket, supplying it will all its fruits and vegetables in the bygone years. We stop for a short-walk next to the pre-historic caves named "Risco de las Cuevas", and also referred to "Madrid´s Cappadocia". We then visit the restored communal laundry room where villagers used to do their laundry by hand - a fascinating relic before Spain´s industrialization.

Carabana

We drive to the world-famous "Water of Carabaña" private estate. Inside we tour the restored hydroelectric plant and private museum which tells us the story of the "Miracle Waters" that were exported all over the world in the millions of bottles by entrepreneur Jacinto Chavarri. We continue on a walk to the abandoned resort in our hidden valley, passing by the estate´s vineyards. On the waking tour (light hike of about one hour) we visit the wells of the "miracle water" and the now abandoned facilities of the former thermal springs resort. We discover the infamous caves and tunnels of the area and the building, which was the headquarters of the Republican forces in Spain´s Civil War.
