Roman Road near Zarzalejo and El Escorial

Roman Road near Zarzalejo and El Escorial
This is a strange Roman road because it doesn't seem to link any obvious Roman towns. In the very few sections such as this where the stones haven't been stolen for local buildings and walls, the indication is that the road was an important one. The best guess is that it leads to and from mining areas in the mountains of central Spain. After the Romans, it soon fell into disuse as evidenced by the fact that its course is nowhere followed by a modern road. (I will upload 2-3 others in the next few days).

I know they can do it for limestone monuments in cities so why not for granite in a place such as this. But who would want to do it and why?

I love the light and shadows! I'd have to be very careful not to sprain my ankle on such an uneven surface;-)

I find that dusty paths without any stones are far more hazardous, Gudrun but, yes; care is always needed!!!!
