Moderate This circular route starts from San Martín de Valdeiglesias and delves into a little-known but highly attractive natural environment, where water and granite rock are the main features. The route combines forest tracks, rural paths, and low-traffic sections, ideal for enjoying the landscape in peace.
As the urban center is left behind, the route enters a mosaic of pine forests, oak groves, and open areas, with wide views of the Sierra Oeste. One of the most unique points of the route is the Charcas de Marrache, small water formations that bring freshness to the landscape, especially in wet seasons.
The itinerary continues towards the Pozo de las Nieves, a traditional element linked to snow storage in past times, which adds an interesting historical component to the route.
The profile is varied, with gentle climbs and more comfortable sections, making it accessible for cyclists with some experience. It is a perfect route for those seeking nature, tranquility, and to discover less-traveled corners.
It is recommended to carry enough water and pay attention to the track sections, which may present irregular surfaces at some points.
