The Camino Purricelli in Cercedilla is an ancient road that is part of the rich historical and natural heritage of the Sierra de Guadarrama. Its origin dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it was built as a forest road to facilitate access and transport of wood from the dense forests of the area.
