My tip“Parking here is also limited, so arrive early. There are almost no facilities, so bring water and food. Swimming in the pools is forbidden. Take your waste back with you.”
A quieter alternative entrance to La Pedriza near the town of Manzanares El Real, among rocks and pines on the bank of the Manzanares river. Suitable for a short walk and a meal when Canto Cochino is full.
Moderate effort, needs a car
By car to the end of the Avenida de La Pedriza in Manzanares el Real; few parking spaces. Rocky paths in places, and the shade is patchy.
Barbecue
Not allowed: the Madrid region bans barbecues and lighting fires in forest areas all year round, including recreation areas; bring ready-made food.
Address
Av. de la Pedriza, 77
