Patones Gorge Trail

Highlight • Trail

This road, which connects the towns of Patones de Arriba and Patones de Abajo, was one of the only accesses to the slate town until the 1930s, with the construction of the narrow road. Through a limestone and slate ravine pierced by the Patones stream, the geological and landscape value of this path is indisputable. Being today one of the best ways to access Patones de Arriba due to restrictions on the use of private vehicles in the town, it is worth walking through this place and being enchanted by its colors and views.

Cancho de la Cabeza Summit

Highlight • Summit

This peak is one of the most visited in the northern mountains due to its accessibility and its spectacular 360º views. From here you can see: To the north the Atazar reservoir and the Sierra de Ayllón, to the west the Sierra de La Cabrera and, on a clear day, the Peñalara peak, which is the highest in Madrid, to the south you can see the entire plain of Madrid and part of its skyline.

La Parra Weir

Highlight • Structure

The La Parra dam was built with the purpose of relieving the Navarejos dam, which is located downstream of the Lozoya River. Due to more recent works, today the dam is in disuse but forms part of the well-known La Parra Dam - Pontón de la Oliva route.

Pontón de la Oliva Dam and Cliffside Pathways

Highlight • Monument

The Pontón de la Oliva dam, built during the reign of Isabel II, is the oldest dam in Madrid. It is built in limestone, the rock that we find in the surroundings.
Since the mid-eighteenth century there was already the idea of supplying water to the court from some of the mighty rivers of the Sierra de Madrid, such as the Lozoya. It is in the middle of the 19th century, when the olive pontoon was selected as the most suitable place to build the first dam in Madrid.
