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.

Great views of the surrounding mountains here on this peak. If you are mountain biking, the La Horizontal trail is a good point to start or return to.

A very well preserved dam, it is currently the oldest working dam in the entire region. The views down from the bridge across it or up the stairs from the top are amazing. It is very worth it. Just down the road is a lovely picnic spot with benches under the pine trees.

This reservoir is the oldest (still in operation) in the Community of Madrid. Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1873, with a design that was innovative for its time. Later, a canal was created that brings water directly to the city of Madrid from this reservoir.

Nice waterfall that deserves to visit. You can get there by several alternative paths, some longer than others but all with a good surface and easy to travel. A recommended place at all times of the year, although spring and autumn are ideal for the colorful landscape.

The Villar reservoir is one of the oldest civil hydrographic works in Madrid that is still in operation. The dam stands in the middle of one of the Lozoya river gorges, which makes it an ideal viewpoint. From here you can see one of the impressive bridges that are used by the operators of the Canal de Isabel II to inspect all the infrastructure that supplies water to Madrid.

The Robregordo dehesa is a forest fantasy of oaks, junipers, birches, holly and rowan trees that are luxurious vegetable jewels due to their great botanical and landscape value, they survive between repopulation of pine forests and meadows of heather, broom and broom that cover the slopes of the Carpetan Mountains. The holly forest is outstanding, there are centuries-old specimens that form very dense and closed groups, it is one of the most notable holly trees in the Community of Madrid. In autumn and winter, they sprout the striking red balls that give the holly a precise touch, as if nature wanted to decorate the forest for a season.
