Good views of the reservoir, also known as El Vellón, with Guadalix de la Sierra in the background. The mountains that can be seen in the background are the ends of La Pedriza and the area of the Morcuera pass.

The Pedrezuela reservoir is a haven of peace for all those who live in the Sierra Norte de Madrid. Built by the Canal de Isabel II to take advantage of the regulated waters of the Guadalix River, it is a perfect place to stroll and unwind.

In spring white flowers grow and it is spectacular. Avoid hunting season.

Around the reservoir there is a conditioned path that surrounds the entire reservoir. It is worth stopping to enjoy these views of the jetty with the Sierra in the background.
