Hiking in la Sierra de Madrid
This is a list of our walks in the Sierra de Madrid.
El Cerro de San Pedro, Guadalix de la Sierra and Soto del Real
The Cerro de San Pedro is a landmark of the Sierra de Madrid, as it stands alone from the rest of the chain of mountains from the Sistema Central. Its small height and spread out distribution makes it an easy hike. It affords splendid views of the north of Madrid, being so close, and of the rest of the Sierra, around it.
A wall to pass over,
before reaching the top.
Apart from the stunning landscape, what especially takes ones breath away are the colors.
The colors of a desert...
in which the grass didn't completely surrender.
Detail of the vegetation.
With Manzanares el Real in background, and its pantano, it's actually a lot of water.
Colors can even be British like as a result.
Although the major theme is definitely on the yellowish.
On the ochre side of it.
Ochre and stone black.
Here a palette from desert sand, that is actually reddish, and certainly all the variations of chartreuse.
Guadalix, in between two moutains.
The high-speed train bridge, that pierces through the Cerro de San Pedro.
La Cabrera (on the right, the Pico de la Miel and dominating on this shot, the Cancho de la Bola.)
Sierra de Hoyo de Manzanares
On 13 October (2013), with Tizón.
