With beautiful views towards the province of Segovia. Also towards other mountain ranges in Madrid.

A small but beautiful village in the mountain pass of the same name. It boasts a lovely church and the beautiful Hermitage of La Soledad, which commemorates the Battle of Somosierra, fought during the War of Independence with the support of neighboring villages.

It's near Somosierra, with a good path going up and down. There's also a plaque commemorating the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Somosierra during the War of Independence.

The waterfall is beautiful when it carries water like this year

Appropriate footwear is required to avoid difficulties on the terrain. This is an easy route from the parking lot located on the old National Highway 1, suitable for children. There's a stream halfway between the waterfall and the parking lot, which makes it a bit difficult to walk when it's carrying water. It's one of the most impressive and beautiful spots in the Madrid mountains.
