The route

The other side of Abantos, less well known than the San Lorenzo one: you start in the El Tomillar area, east of the mountain, and climb the mountain road through the pine forest until you join the San Lorenzo side near the top. It's short and fully paved, with tight hairpins in the upper half.

There are no fountains or bars on the climb: fill up with water in San Lorenzo de El Escorial or Guadarrama before you come. There's car traffic heading up the mountain at weekends, and in winter there can be ice on the shaded bends. If you want more, link it with the descent to San Lorenzo and climb back up the other side.
