Col with beautiful views of the Sierra de Gadarrama, within the municipality of Cercedilla and located on the provincial border between Segovia and Madrid. This place is a point of confluence of numerous hiking trails such as the Seven Peaks, which can be climbed from the northwestern face of this system.

Los Corralitos Meadow

Highlight • Forest

The stone paving of the medieval road disappears and the path reaches the Los Corralitos meadow, with tall, stiff pine trees decorating the meadow. In the center of the spot is a very crude map carved into a wooden panel. The pine forests of the Corralillos prairie are worthy of contemplation strolling calmly among the enormous trunks, touching the old peeling bark, taking advantage of the shade of the treetops on summer days or seeking refuge in the autumn blizzards. Some specimens exceed twenty meters in height and have been living next to the Roman road since the Middle Ages.

In Los Corralitos, the Roman road, the Carretera de la República, the Camino Schmid, the Camino de Santiago and the Bourbon road, built in the 18th century, during the reign of Philip V, intersect to connect the capital of the kingdom with the dependencies of La Granja de San Ildefonso, which were the summer residence of several generations of Bourbon monarchs. The pines in the landscape are tall and old, giving the forest an atmosphere of venerable serenity.

Roman Road of Puerto de la Fuenfría

Highlight • Historical Site

The Roman road of the port of Fuenfría represents the best preserved road section of Roman origin in the Community of Madrid. Since its construction in the 1st century, it has been used for centuries by the peoples of the two plateaus to cross the peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama, undergoing important improvement and maintenance reforms, such as the reconstruction of the bridges in the Madrid sector in 1728. The construction of an engineering work of such magnitude for the time meant an important environmental alteration in the landscape and an ecological impact on the mountain ecosystems, in the same way that it happens today when designing new roads and highways. At the opening of the roadway box, the Roman engineers ordered to cut down and burn large areas of forest to function and act safely on the ground, adapting the environment to the needs of the road and at the same time working safe from wild animals , especially bears and wolves, who mercilessly attacked the workers from the depths of the forest. The loss of forest masses caused a degradation of plant species, leaving the undergrowth highly exposed to erosion, which, by losing the plant cover, breaks the dynamics of the landscape and increases the risk of landslides in the rainy season and avalanches in winter.
