good place to eat and climb up to fallen bridge with force

At this modest elevation of 846 meters above sea level you will find a geodesic vertex and beautiful views of the landscape that surrounds you, which can be seen without problem due to the height of this projection, caused by a notable vein of quartz. From this height, where there is also an uninhabited house, we can see several points of interest, such as the city of Madrid, El Escorial or Abantos, or part of the Guadarrama mountain range, among which the peaks of La Maliciosa stand out, Iron Heads or Seven Peaks.

Even very close to highly urbanized areas, the Guadarrama River continues to offer beautiful scenery and a pleasant walk.
