Navafría Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

On the list of the ''first'' riders in Madrid, Navafría is the one most enjoyed by the cyclist on foot. It's a cool, shady, twisty, tough, quiet route.

Puerto de Navafría

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Navafría pass is located in a beautiful mountain pass in the Montes Carpetanos between the Lozoya Valley and the cattle-raising villages of Alto Cega, on the Segovian plateau, in the Cañada Real Soriana Occidental pass. In the port car park there is space for ten or twelve vehicles and when it fills up you have to return about 500 meters along the road to Lozoya to leave the car in the Las Lagunillas car park. In winter this car park can have access problems due to ice and snow. The mountain route leaves the pass heading west to the right of a wooden fence. A few meters to the right begins a forest track that passes through the Navalcollado viewpoint and heads towards the forests and streams where the river Cega is born.

Buitrago del Lozoya Historic Town and Walls

Highlight • Historical Site

It is a unique town that preserves its complete wall, the only one in the region and declared a National Monument in 1931. Don't miss its Gothic-Mudejar style Alcázar with a clear Arab influence. A storybook and postcard town like few others.
