アルペドレテの峠・トップ7

アルト・デル・レオンから出発し、アルシプレステまたはロス・ロミートスへの道まで下る美しいトレイル。

One of the most beautiful and toughest passes in the mountains. Beautiful climb but little shoulder and a lot of traffic on weekends. There are a lot of bikes so it is not a problem because it is respected, but it is good to know. Be patient, and enjoy the wind, that stretch is tough but the reward is closer.

It is halfway up the climb to La Peñota, so it is a good point to stop on days without a storm. On stormy days it may be too exposed to the wind to make a stop at this hill.

The Republic Highway or Puricelli Highway is a forest track that ascends through the Fuenfría valley (Sierra de Guadarrama valley) and is located in the municipality of Cercedilla, in the northwest of the Community of Madrid (Spain). It begins in the recreational area of Las Dehesas de Cercedilla to the port of Fuenfría. There is the possibility of continuing along it to the base of La Peñota, where this path really ends.

Without being neither the longest nor the most difficult to climb of the ports of the Community of Madrid, it has in its central and final part about two kilometers that are nailed in a tremendous way

Pass crossing between the regions of Madrid and Castilia y Leon. Accessible by car by choosing the pass (Puerto) instead of the tunnel on the A6 motorway. There is plenty of parking available in the morning and it has a restaurant. Starting point for tours (e.g. Cabeza de Lijar or to El Escorial).

The port of Guadarrama, which culminates in the Alto del León, is a Spanish mountain pass, which serves to cross the Sierra de Guadarrama (belonging to the Central system), connecting the province of Segovia and the Community of Madrid.

Port of passage, with a length of about 18 kilometers, in stage 20 of the Tour of Spain 2015.
