Itinerary description
(Description below is in English, waypoints are described in Spanish)
This route is the fifth part of a 10-day hiking trip through the Madrid province, from East to West following GR-10.
This track starts at the castle of Manzanares el Real and leaves the town westwards, passing by the old castle, in the direction of Mataelpino. A gravel road leads you to Ermita de San Isidro and farther to the north side of the town of Mataelpino. From there we follow narrower tracks climbing up to the urbanization of Vista Real.
The GR takes a detour here to safely cross the road and follows a beautiful path through the forest towards Navacerrada. We pass quite close to the lake but before reaching it the GR leads us to the town. If you have the time it may be worth walking to the lake and from there to town instead of following the asphalt road.
We cross the town towards the high end and leave in north western direction. Here we reach the highest point of today’s walk at 1313m. From here we follow wide roads both asphalt and gravel towards Cercedilla. The track ends at the station.
