The project started in August. 1995 and was com· pleted in March, 1999 at an overall cost of €28.2 million/km. The unit final cart of the 38 km-Iong under­ ground section was €41.3 million/km. which included the new rolling stock. The correct application of soil mechanics was the most important element of the project. and the best geotechnical expertise in the country was retained and employed.

  • Escape the Madrid Heat in the Mountains of Cercedilla
    Escape the Madrid Heat in the Mountains of Cercedilla As someone who considers themselves a 50/50 city girl and mountain lover, I was slightly curious when moving to Madrid about where the hiking enthusiast side of me would find a place in such a massive city. I find that when most people think of Spain, their minds tend to veer more towards flamenco, sangria, paella, medieval villages, and enchanting cities. To my surprise, the community of Madrid is also home to a vast range of world-class hiking trails. I was excited the other week to be escaping the city for a day in the mountains of Cercedilla, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the immense beauty that La Sierra de Guadarrama beholds. Getting to Cercedilla Luckily, Cercedilla is only about a one-hour drive away from Madrid and can be easily reached by train, which will drop you off right in the center of the quaint mountain town. I took a car to Cercedilla and after driving through this charming destination for a bit, found my way to the environmental office. Stepping out of the car and getting a whiff of the crisp mountain air and pine trees was the perfect welcome into the gorgeous La Sierra de Guadarrama that surrounds Madrid. If you go up to the window at the environmental office, you will meet a guide who will provide you with plenty of information and maps on the hikes that the area boasts. Choosing Your Hike The guide at the environmental office explained the map that contains many different color-coded trails, informing us of how long each would take, what the difficulty level was, etc.
