The Peñalara peak from Valsaín
This is a linear, one-week route for advanced cyclists, accustomed to long climbs and hard tracks, which runs through the entire Guadarrama mountain range along the recently created Sierra de Guadarrama National Park. From the Somosierra pass to Robledo de Chavela, we cycle between gorse and pine forests, crowning well-known mountain passes such as Los Cotos or Fuenfría.
Since 1984, El Escorial monastery has been a World Heritage Site.
