Orusco de Tajuña is perched on a chalky hillside, surrounded by lush orchards and leafy poplar groves. From the road, it creates a vivid picture with its whitewashed houses, all facing the river plain and oriented to the east to get as much sun as possible.
Its narrow streets are the starting point for several pleasant walks, such as the path to the Hermitage of Bellaescusa, with its famous legend and ancient fig tree; the Fountains Route; the pine forest route to Valdilecha; the climb to the Cruz del Cristo (Christ’s Cross) to see Orusco and its entire river plain, or the path down to the River Tajuña to follow one of the most beautiful stretches of the Tajuña Greenway.
