The route

Signposted mountain loop of the Centro BTT Bajo Tiétar that starts in Mombeltrán, at the foot of the castle, and heads into the southern slopes of Gredos among chestnut, oak and pine trees. It runs almost entirely on forest tracks and cobbled bridle paths, with a few serious ramps on the climb and loose, stony descents where it pays to take it easy. In the village you'll find fountains, bars and shops; up in the hills don't count on water, so set off with full bottles. Spring and autumn are the best seasons: in summer the heat bites in the middle of the day, and in winter there can be ice in the shady spots. Respect the farms and livestock you meet along the way.

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.
