Join our unforgettable day trip to the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park from Madrid and discover some of its most spectacular spots with an expert local guide.
Just 40 minutes from Madrid, we’ll find ourselves in a natural setting of extraordinary beauty and tranquillity, starting with the stunning La Pedriza area, one of Spain’s most unique granite landscapes. During the tour, we’ll pass through Manzanares el Real, where we’ll enjoy the views of its iconic castle from the outside.
We will continue on to Navacerrada, where we will stop for a rest and lunch, before heading on to the stunning mountain passes of Puerto de Navacerrada and Puerto de Cotos, surrounded by high-mountain scenery.
We will then head down into the Rascafría valley, one of the most picturesque areas of the mountains, where we will visit places such as the Mirador de los Robledos viewpoint and the charming Parque Finlandés, weather permitting.
The itinerary may be adjusted depending on the weather conditions and the group’s pace, whilst always ensuring the best possible experience.
The Sierra de Guadarrama is Spain’s fourth-largest national park, comprising eleven ecosystems that are home to over 1,280 species, thirteen of which are endangered. There are also over 1,500 native plant species and thirty types of vegetation. The fauna includes deer, wild boar, Iberian wolves, roe deer, fallow deer, mountain goats, badgers, various mustelids, wildcats, foxes and hares.
We also have a wide variety of waterbird species in the reservoirs, as well as large birds of prey, notably the imperial eagle and the black vulture – truly magnificent creatures that you’ll be able to see on this tour organised by Naturanda.
Highlights of the park: the milder and wetter climate of the Sierra compared to that of the plateau, combined with the fact that it has been less altered by human activity, has made it a haven for biodiversity. Its landscape features glacial cirques and lakes, as well as outcrops of granite; its vegetation includes high-mountain ecosystems and extensive Scots pine forests.
Without a doubt, the best way to discover the natural surroundings and traditional culture of Madrid.
