Berg El Pardo

This is an easy, half-day, circular route, for those who want to have a nice ride in Madrid.

It starts at the Toledo bridge, and runs through trails along the Manzanares riverside, up to El Pardo village. We will visit the church of San Antonio de la Florida, where is painter Goya’s tomb, the Royal Estate palace, and if there is enough mood, some notable places of the village, like the Royal Palace or the House of the Prince. We will have our lunch in a typical restaurant and pedal back passing by the Casa de Campo park, to finish at the starting point.

This route runs through Manzanares river basin, and Monte de El Pardo, sites classified as SCI (Site of Community Importance); and also Monte de El Pardo, is an area protected as SPA (Special Protection Area) in the Natura 2000 network.
