Abstract
Manzanares el Real tiene un amplio patrimonio geológico. Está ubicado en el Parque Natural de la Sierra de Guadarrama (Madrid) y sus características geológicas y monumentales posibilitan acciones de divulgación científica. Las Rutas Geomonumentales tienen como objetivo principal mostrar a la sociedad el patrimonio cultural, dándole un uso turístico y didáctico. Estas rutas combinan valores arquitectónicos e históricos con la geología y la conservación del patrimonio. El granito es la piedra de construcción más importante a lo largo de la historia de la región de Madrid. Sus canteras históricas, formas de extracción y usos constituyen un patrimonio que se debe salvaguardar. Este artículo propone un recorrido de siete paradas por canteras históricas y monumentos que constituyen un museo geológico al aire libre. Esta ruta surge a partir de los trabajos de investigación realizados en la Fuente de las Ermitas de Manzanares el Real.
Manzanares el Real has an extensive geological heritage. It is located in the Natural Park of the Sierra de Guadarrama (Madrid), whose geological and monumental features make possible scientific dissemination actions. The main objective of Geomonumental Routes is to show the society the cultural heritage, giving it a touristic and didactic use. These routes combine architectural and historical values with geology and heritage conservation. Granite is the most important building stone in the history of the Madrid region. Its historic quarries, forms of extraction and uses constitute a heritage that must be safeguarded. This article proposes a tour of seven stops by historical quarries and monuments that constitute an open-air geological museum in Manzanares el Real. This route arises from the research work carried out in the Fuente de las Ermitas of this locality.
