    Tips

    The Fuente Cossío is a monument built in two different types of granite. It was inaugurated in 1932 by Julián Besteiro as a tribute to Manuel Bartolomé Cossío, a professor at the Institución Libre de Enseñanza and a great lover of the Sierra de Guadarrama.
    The disappointment we received upon arrival was important, not so much because of the appearance of the fountain (majestic in the middle of a meadow and with beautiful views) but because of the low flow of its only jet. In winter time water gushes out, but in summer the snowfields in the area have melted and the flow drops until it is reduced to little more than a trickle.

      In a beautiful place, it does not always have water, but it is always a good place to stop to rest
