The route

The longest route of the Centro BTT Valle del Lozoya, on the northern side of the Guadarrama. It combines forest tracks through pine and oak woods with livestock trails and the odd more technical descent. It is waymarked with the MTB centre's posts, so it's easy to follow. Along the valley you'll find fountains and villages with a bar where you can stop for water or a coffee. It's best in spring and autumn. In winter there may be snow or mud higher up, and in summer it's worth setting off early. Take a mountain bike with good brakes and wide tyres.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (Centro BTT «Valle del Lozoya», route 5) (ODbL).

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