Soto del Real Cycling Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Soto is one of the epicenters of cycling in the Sierra de Guadarrama. From here you can access many roads and tracks that lead to the mountain itself. Its leisure and restaurant offerings have made it the origin and end of long days by bike and beers and after-meals reminiscing about the adventure.

This viewpoint next to the San Blas hermitage gives us beautiful views of the Santillana reservoir and the Cerro de San Pedro. I recommend looking behind the hermitage

View from Puerto de la Morcuera

Highlight • Viewpoint

The really important thing is the port of La Morcuera itself, and not so much the parking that is just before the crown, although the views are great from there.
The Morcuera pass is a mountain pass at 1,796 meters above sea level. It is the third highest port in the Community of Madrid next to Fuenfría, which we have also crowned on occasion.
From the top you can see the entire Madrid plain if we look south, while if we do it in other directions we will see peaks of more than 2,000 meters such as Cabezas de Hierro and La Najarra.
