Views of the Castilian plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the SG-615 road, at the height of the Navacerrada pass, you can see the entire Valsaín valley and, in the background, the Castilian plateau that is lost on the horizon.

Las Siete Revueltas

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Siete Revueltas are one of the most iconic sections of the road that ascends to the Navacerrada Pass.

This section consists of seven hairpin bends, one after the other, marking the final and toughest part of the climb from the Segovia side.

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.

Plaza de España, Rascafría

Highlight • Settlement

Rascafría is a beautiful village in the heart of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range. Located in the Lozoya Valley, it boasts an ideal location for cycling between the Morcuera and Cotos mountain passes.

Its main monument is the Monastery of Santa María del Paular, nestled in a privileged setting blanketed with pine and oak forests. As its name suggests, it is one of the coldest villages in the Madrid region.

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.

Puerto de Cotos

Highlight • Mountain Pass

It's not a very steep climb, but it's long. It gets tiring at the end.

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.
