This province of Castilla-La Mancha takes full advantage of its natural environment to offer very varied and fun routes.

Recommended to make the routes that we propose in autumn or spring, since winter and summer in Toledo are synonyms for extreme temperatures, both cold and heat. As for its cultural and heritage richness, we recommend you stop in the capital, the city of the three cultures, Talavera de la Reina or villages of the Toledo stain as usuegra or tremble, with its wind mills and Plaza Mayor Porticada, respectively.
Green of the Jara
The green road of the Jara is one of the most important railway railways for hiking and Mountain Bike in the downtown area. It travels the Toledo region of the Jara, in the west of the province, by the layout of the old railroad road that was built between Talavera de la Reina and Villanueva de la Serena in the early S. XX. The road was barely used and was abandoned after the civil war.
His numerous viaducts (up to 7) and tunnels (18), are the characteristic elements of this route that crosses landscapes of Castilian plain and cultivation fields in its beginnings. The second section of the green road is more broken, due to the proximity of the Montes de Toledo. However, the layout is affordable and there are no notable technical difficulties.
