After the climb, I turn left to take the canal path, from here you enter a broken road that runs through beautiful places such as the Moncalvillo meadow.

The Molar watchtower is one of the six old defensive watchtowers of the Mayrit mountain range. Visibly rebuilt, it has an extensive view of the surrounding valleys and allowed communication between different towers through fire signals or, failing that, smoke. These messages could travel 200 kilometers in 45 minutes, eliminating the Christian factor from the Christian troops. Thanks to its strategic positioning, today its foot serves as a viewpoint of the Sierra Norte and Cuerda Larga.

Of great beauty and easy to access (be careful, there are some winding stairs) they are one of these little-known corners of Madrid. In the bed of the Guadalix River and almost at the mouth of its spectacular canyon, the waterfall depends on the opening of the reservoir, upstream, which guarantees water flow practically all year round.

It is a small hermitage with a square floor plan and a hipped roof, it also has a porch made up of a small roof to which two stone columns are attached. It was renovated in 1990. In it there is the image of San Blas, Patron of the town, from the month of May to the month of February, and in the esplanade of the field that surrounds the Hermitage the traditional Bread and Cheese Pilgrimage is celebrated, the Sunday before the Feast of the Ascension.
