History[]

At the end of the nineteenth century a narrow gauge railway was constructed between Madrid and Almorox via Mostoles. This railway closed in the 1960s, although it has been partly reopened as Cercanías Madrid line C-5 (an Iberian gauge line). Between Móstoles-El Soto railway station and Navalcarnero the track has been converted into a greenway (via verde) for cyclists and walkers.^[2]
