Hiking

Charca Verde is one of the most iconic and beautiful spots in La Pedriza, in the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park. It is a pool of crystal-clear, emerald-green water, formed by the Manzanares River and surrounded by large granite boulders.

Place recognized for its beauty and landscape, very visited especially in the summer months. It is located within the area of La Pedriza and you can get there by several trails and alternative paths that will allow you to vary the route, although you will never get tired of the destination!
