My tip“Much quieter than the famous Guadarrama areas. The spring water is useful, but carry a backup supply. Take your waste back with you.”
A shady area near the village of Bustarviejo with a small pond where children like to watch the frogs, tables, a spring of fresh water and a viewpoint. A starting point for the valley trails.
Easy to reach, needs a car
By car through Bustarviejo, then a short dirt track; tables near the car park and good shade.
Barbecue
Not allowed: the Madrid region bans barbecues and lighting fires in forest areas all year round, including recreation areas; bring ready-made food.
