Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso

Highlight • Historical Site

Popularly known as La Granja, the Royal Site of San Ildefonso, declared a Historic Monument, is one of the best examples of the monarchical splendor of the 18th century. It is worth taking a walk around the place and enjoying the palace, gardens and its fountains.

Refuge Exit, Sierra de Guadarrama Norte Natural Park

Highlight • Forest

If you have arrived from Madrid with a headwind up here in the Refugio, you can enjoy the descent towards Segovia, but the ascent here is definitely tough. Beautiful woods

Puerto de Navacerrada

Mountain Pass

44.3 km

Cotos Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This well-known port in the area has a length of more than 15 kilometers. The first part is smooth and stretched out and the second very constant and homogeneous, with slopes between 6% and 7%. We catalog the port as 2nd Category.

Monastery of El Paular

Highlight • Religious Site

The history of this monastery can be grouped around three main axes: El Paular-Cartuja (1390-1835), El Paular disentailed (1835-1954) and El Paular recovered for monastic life (1954-until today).
huerta_paularThe foundation of the Charterhouse of Santa María de El Paular dates back to 1390. The House of Trastamara granted it great privileges and defrayed the costs of the works throughout the reign. Juan I began to erect the first Cartuja de Castilla, where there were already some hunting palaces that are cited in Alfonso X's Book of Falconry and a Hermitage called Santa María del Pobolar. This is how the first Cartuja de Castilla was built and the sixth of the Carthusian foundations in Spain.

Chocolate Natural San Lázaro, Rascafría

Highlight • Cafe

Rascafría is an interesting and pretty mountain town with cobbled streets and beautiful views. One of my favorite places to visit while there is the Natural Chocolate Artisan Chocolate Factory. Perfect if you need a little extra power for the extra miles.

Navafría Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

On the list of the ''first'' riders in Madrid, Navafría is the one most enjoyed by the cyclist on foot. It's a cool, shady, twisty, tough, quiet route.
