Spectacular route with very nice views of Madrid. Being so close to Madrid (Puerto de Navacerrada), with the possibility of climbing one of the highest peaks of the Sierra Guadarrama and for being one of the most famous mountain passes of the Tour of Spain, this route is one of the best in Madrid.

In summer, this route allows you to climb out of the heat of Madrid and, once at the top, enjoy the sunset. As the route runs along the asphalted paths of the ski slope, it is safe to descend after sunset.

Author’s recommendation

A sunset picnic allows you to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and great night views of the city with its illuminated streets.

On summer evenings it is important to bring a torch (headlamp) and a jacket.
