The view of La Maliciosa from the bridge is spectacular. A short break before starting the climb to Alto del Enebrillo.

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.

It is located in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range, between the municipalities of Miraflores de la Sierra and Rascafría, in the Community of Madrid. From Miraflores de la Sierra (1200m), the route ascends approximately 600m over 10km (average gradient 4–6%), and after reaching the summit, it descends 13km to Rascafría (1150m) with a gradient of 4.5–7%.

Reservoir located in the beautiful town of Manzanares el Real.

A comfortable trail with incredible views. As an added bonus, you can descend to the Mojonavalle waterfall. A truly beautiful cascade.

nice corner to enjoy the views

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

It is a good area for a quiet route without rushing... except for some sections with a lot of water where you have to walk.
