Port suitable for beginners who want to get in shape

In the Middle Ages, the inhabitants of Bustarviejo had to pay a “toll” of half a bushel to use this pass to carry grain to be ground at the water mills in the Lozoya Valley. Hence the name of this pass. From the pass we can see the Carpetanos Mountains of Somosierra, part of the Lozoya Valley and the entire Sierra Norte of Madrid.

Another port in Los Montes Carpetanos for the passage between the provinces of Madrid and Segovia.

From Puerto Linera, at 1834m altitude, you can see part of the Lozoya Valley, the Cabrera mountain range, highlighting the Pico de la Miel, the Riosequillo reservoir, Buitrado and Villavieja. Behind us is the province of Segovia, where we can see, among others, the town of Matabuena. The name "linera" is perhaps due to the large amount of linen that was sold from the Buitrago region to the towns of Pedraza and surrounding areas. The port has a cairn of stones much larger than those that delimit the terms, since, according to tradition, it was customary to throw a stone every time you passed from one side to the other to make it more visible when there was snow, blizzards or fog. , and prevent passers-by from getting lost.

The Port of Navafría is one of the entrances to the famous Horizontal runway that connects this port with the historic port of Somosierra. The Port of Navafría is located between the municipalities of Lozoya and Navafría. With its 1,773 meters above sea level, it is considered a first-class port in the “Cycling Tour of Spain”. This natural area is made up of a lush oak forest in the lower part and a beautiful pine forest in the upper part.
