Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου στη Μαδρίτη

Ένα πολύ ευχάριστο πέρασμα για να ανεβείτε από την πλευρά της Puebla de la Sierra. Για να γίνει αυτό, πρέπει να έχετε πρόσβαση από το Robledillo, με πολύ απότομες ράμπες για να ζεσταθείτε, και μερικά χιλιόμετρα σε στενό και λακκουβώδες δρόμο. Η θέα και η διαδρομή αξίζουν απόλυτα. Αποφύγετε τα Σαββατοκύριακα, ειδικά τις ώρες αιχμής, καθώς οι μοτοσικλέτες, και κυρίως τα αυτοκίνητα, μπορούν να σας χαλάσουν λίγο τη γιορτή, όπως σας λέω, ο δρόμος είναι πολύ στενός. Υπάρχει μια πηγή στο χαμηλότερο σημείο μεταξύ Robledillo και Puebla, και άλλη μία βγαίνοντας από την Puebla de la Sierra. Είναι τα δύο μοναδικά σημεία όπου θα μπορείτε να γεμίσετε τα δοχεία σας "δωρεάν".

Manzanares el Real Castle, also known as Mendoza Castle: Built in 1475 by order of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, 1st Duke of the Infantado, on the site of a former Romanesque-Mudéjar church. Its architecture is Isabelline Gothic, with a square floor plan, cylindrical towers, and an octagonal keep. It served as the palatial residence of the powerful Mendoza family, who even established a literary court there. Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1949. Today it houses a Medieval Interpretation Center, with exhibits of tapestries, armor, furniture, and audiovisual presentations about life in the Middle Ages.

The Castle and Walls of Buitrago del Lozoya, one of the most important medieval sites in the Community of Madrid: The town has pre-Roman roots and was mentioned by Livy as a Celtiberian fortress (Litabrum). Muslim Fortification: Between the 8th and 11th centuries, the Muslims built the wall to protect the territory. Reconquest: Alfonso VI conquered it in 1085, and it passed into Christian hands. Current Castle: Built in the 15th century by the Mendoza family, during the reign of John II of Castile. Historical Uses: Noble residence, defensive stronghold, and setting for events such as the imprisonment of Juana la Beltraneja.

The name comes from the stone boundary markers erected in the 18th century to demarcate lands acquired by Charles III for hunting. During the Spanish Civil War, it was a strategic area with a Republican detachment stationed there. It formerly housed the Valcotos ski resort, which no longer exists.

There's a fountain as you reach the top on the right. Follow the cobblestone path.

No water comes out, mind you. Even so, it's a legendary spot in the Navacerrada Pass.

It is a key point when you go on a route to show the area to other cyclists
