This reservoir is located in the beautiful Barranca valley

The Mirador de las Canchas is one of the most outstanding panoramic points in the Sierra de Guadarrama, located in the Barranca Valley, within the municipality of Navacerrada, Madrid. From this viewpoint, located at an altitude of approximately 1,754 meters, you can enjoy stunning views of iconic mountains such as La Maliciosa and La Bola del Mundo, as well as the extensive pine forest in the valley and, on clear days, even the city of Madrid in the distance. The route to reach the viewpoint is of moderate difficulty and begins at the La Barranca parking lot. The route, approximately 9 kilometers round trip, runs mainly along a forest track with a gradient of approximately 350 meters, making it accessible to most hikers. During the ascent, you will cross lush pine forests and pass near landmarks such as the Fuente de la Campanilla and the remains of the old Guadarrama Sanatorium.

The Barranca Army Reservoir, built in the 1950s in Navacerrada (Madrid), is located in the Barranca Valley, within the Upper Manzanares Basin Regional Park. It originally supplied water to a sanatorium. Today, surrounded by a valuable ecosystem, it is a place to enjoy nature and views of the Sierra de Guadarrama.

A crossing and meeting place for many hikers heading in different directions.

It's hard to get there, but the views are so cool.

This reservoir, located on the Navacerrada River in the municipality of Navacerrada, has an interesting history. It was built in the 1950s to supply water to the Air Force Anti-Tuberculosis Sanatorium in La Barranca. After its closure, it was abandoned and, over the years, it has become a rich ecosystem that is home to species at risk of extinction such as the otter, various birds, mammals, fish and amphibians. All this makes this area of high environmental and landscape value. If you ever have the opportunity to visit it, I recommend exploring its surroundings and enjoying the unparalleled views it offers. A true paradise for nature lovers! 🌿🚣‍♂️🌊

I love this area, part of the route, and more along the Camino de Santiago

La Colada de Matalpino is a road that connects the towns of Manzanares, El Boalo, and Matalpino. If you walk this path you will enjoy spectacular views of that part of the Los Porrones mountain range and the Peña del Mediodía.
