엠발스 드 엘 빌라르 최고의 라이딩 경로

Puebla de la Sierra 측에서 올라가기 좋은 매우 쾌적한 고개입니다. 이를 위해서는 Robledillo에서 접근해야 하며, 워밍업을 위한 매우 가파른 경사와 좁고 울퉁불퉁한 도로를 몇 킬로미터 달려야 합니다. 경치와 코스는 완전히 그럴 만한 가치가 있습니다. 주말, 특히 혼잡한 시간대는 피하세요. 오토바이와 특히 자동차가 당신의 파티를 조금 망칠 수 있기 때문입니다. 말씀드렸다시피 도로는 매우 좁습니다. Robledillo와 Piebla 사이의 가장 낮은 지점에 분수대가 있고, Puebla de la Sierra를 떠날 때 또 다른 분수대가 있습니다. 이 두 곳만이 "무료"로 물통을 채울 수 있는 유일한 장소입니다.

The **Centennial Yew of Canencia** is a unique tree of great botanical and landscape value in the Sierra de Guadarrama, in the Community of Madrid. It is not just a specimen, but part of a small population of yews that has survived in an exceptional setting, the Canencia Birch Forest. ### Characteristics and Location * **Species:** *Taxus baccata* (common yew). * **Age:** The most notable specimen is estimated to be between **400 and 500 years old**. Its longevity is one of the most fascinating characteristics of this species. * **Dimensions:** It has a trunk of considerable girth (around 4.10 meters) and a wide crown about 15 meters in diameter, which demonstrates its advanced age and health. * **Location:** It is located in the **Canencia Birch Forest** area, very close to the Canencia Pass. It is often included in the popular hiking trail known as "The Birch Forest Path" or the "Mojonavalle Waterfall Path." It is located near the Sestil del Maíllo stream. * **Environment:** The yew coexists with other unique species such as birch, holly, and Scots pines. This humid and protected microclimate has allowed the survival of these trees, which are relics of colder, wetter times. ### Importance and Uniqueness * **Botanical Value:** Yews are extremely slow-growing trees and are considered almost immortal. In Spain, they are a protected species, and finding such ancient specimens is a rarity. * **Landscape Value:** The Canencia yew stands out for its majestic appearance in the midst of a very picturesque forest, attracting numerous hikers and nature lovers. * **History and legend:** Like many ancient yew trees, it is steeped in legend. In many European cultures, they were considered sacred trees for their longevity and the toxicity of their parts (except for the pulp of their fruit). ### Access and routes To visit the yew, the most common route is the **Birch Forest Path**, which starts from the Canencia Pass itself. The path is signposted. You walk along a forest track to a detour that leads directly to the Chorrera de Mojonavalle, and a little further on, you will find the yew tree. Despite its age, the tree is increasingly visible and accessible, but it is essential to be respectful and not damage its surroundings to preserve this natural monument.
