Cadalso de los Vidrios acquired fame in the 16th and 17th centuries thanks to the fact that its glass factory supplied the royal pharmacy of the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. In the municipality there are important historical buildings, such as the Renaissance palace of Villena. This town is located at the top of the hillside, which allows you to contemplate the Alberche valley majestically.

We come from the northwest along bad and very steep roads, and we find a very healthy and fun road that takes us to the Alberche river at 35 km/h

The Picadas reservoir is located between the municipalities of Pelayos de la Presa and Aldea del Fresno, about 60 km from Madrid, in the Sierra de Gredos. This reservoir collects the waters of the Alberche River and has a recreational area that the whole family will enjoy.

A beautiful place, ideal for taking a break on your route and enjoying the wonderful landscape that surrounds this small pond that is located in the heart of the Alberche oak forest and on the bed of the Labores stream. If you are here in summer you can take the opportunity to take a refreshing swim.
