The route

Signposted route of the Centro BTT Bajo Tiétar that climbs from Candeleda towards the Refugio de la Albarea, on the lower slopes of Gredos. It follows mountain tracks through oak and pine woods, with a long, steady climb and a descent through the same terrain, where there are stretches of loose stone. Candeleda has everything you need to eat and drink before and after; along the way there are gorges, but don't count on reliable fountains. Best in spring and autumn: in summer the heat here is strong from mid-morning. Respect the free-roaming livestock and close any gates you come across.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (Centro BTT Bajo Tiétar signposted network) (ODbL).

Before you set off, check the state of the road or track and follow the traffic rules. Enjoy the ride.
