Mountain biking

This peak is one of the most visited in the northern mountains due to its accessibility and its spectacular 360º views. From here you can see: To the north the Atazar reservoir and the Sierra de Ayllón, to the west the Sierra de La Cabrera and, on a clear day, the Peñalara peak, which is the highest in Madrid, to the south you can see the entire plain of Madrid and part of its skyline.
