Route of the Channels

A contemporary route that goes through the old road of the Casas de Don Gómez municipality that connected with the City of Coria.

Scenic Tour: The route begins just at the beginning of the Iron Bridge (Puente de Hierro), erected between 1901 and 1909, and continues westward along the riverside walkway known as Paseo Fluvial de La Isla. It further takes you to the Tamujal Riverside Park, a natural area for walking and relaxation located on the right bank of the Alagón River, where you can appreciate the rich flora of the riverside forest. From here, the route leads you to an asphalted road that ascends through orchards and fertile irrigated fields, until you reach the top to look down towards the millenary Historic Centre and the Urban Area of Coria.
