A nice climb from the El Burguillo reservoir. The first part is asphalt in very good condition (as of November 1, 2025), and the second part is a dirt track, also in very good condition. It's a demanding climb; the asphalt section offers some flatter sections, but the dirt track is practically a continuous gradient of around 10%.

The Alberche River is one of the tributaries of the Tagus, and runs through the communities of Castilla y León, Madrid, and Castilla - La Mancha. It is born on the southern slope of the Villafranca mountain range, in the Central system. It is a river with a shallow flow, like all the rivers that originate from the southern slope of the Central system. It serves as a border between the Gredos and Guadarrama mountain ranges.

The Piviana pasture is extraordinary, there are abundant specimens of melojo oak that are two and three centuries old, there are mountain streams and a grazing corral in the forest clearing. The detour is at the sign for the area and in about two hundred meters it leads to a meadow near a stream with a small waterfall. The trail returns to the main path and continues climbing the side of the mountain range. Oak trees attract attention due to their size, the dancing silhouettes of the branches and the play of light, especially in autumn when the leaves are yellowing. The path passes through a clearing where the Los Manaderos sign is and at the next bend the Roble de los Manaderos appears on the right of the track, a fabulous specimen of melojo oak with about four hundred years of life.

The Alberche river passes through this natural strait that ends with what is called the Burguillo Reservoir. It's worth going a few more meters to see the views of the meanders that the river itself offers.

The Alberche river passes through this natural strait that ends with what is called the Burguillo Reservoir. The views from this point are beautiful and wide.

The valley of the La Garganta del Niño Cojo goes from the ridge of the Sierra de Gredos to the same town of Piedralaves, they leave the Presa de Piedralves and in other parts, a magnificent view of the area.

Beautiful views that I find when I reach this point. A natural viewpoint of the Alberche river that is undoubtedly worth visiting.
