La Sierra de Guadarrama, shared by the territories of Madrid y Segovia, is home to some of the most spectacular mountain bike routes in the central peninsular area, with the advantage that we can find routes of all levels, from the most difficult trails, such as those of the Mount Abantos, in the vicinity of El Escorial, to the most affordable and familiar slopes, such as the Nature Trail that runs through the entire Lozoya Valley, without forgetting the fun but demanding routes that we can take in the surroundings of Cercedilla.The fans of road cycling You will also find a good handful of challenges here, although we recommend riding on the asphalt on days with fewer people at the ski resorts and being careful with shady areas to avoid possible patches of ice. Port names such as Canencia, Morcuera, Navafría, Cotos or Navacerrada They continue to be equally appealing at this time, with the incentive of being able to enjoy the snow-capped peaks of the mountains up close.
Precisely, the port of Navacerrada It is a common meeting place for professional cyclists who want to benefit from training at altitude. And many of them stay in one of the last establishments attached to the Bikefriendly Quality Seal and which is also part of CiclaMadrid, Hotel El Corzo. There you will feel like you are in your own home... and your bike too. Not too far away, in Cercedilla, you will find another accommodation Bikefriendly, The Inn of Cercedillaventura, which is part of one of the best active tourism centers in the Community of Madrid. And it is also located at the entrance to the valley of the fuenfría, another paradise for mountain bike lovers.
Another valley, in this case that of Lozoya, houses another establishment that recently joined the Bikefriendly Quality Seal, Hotel Quercus Tierra. Located in the small but charming town of Garganta de los Montes, just to enjoy its brilliant panoramic restaurant is worth a visit. Furthermore, if you venture to take the leap to the Segovian side of the Sierra de Guadarrama, you always have the option of stopping and dining, you and your bicycle, in the Aldegüela Ranch, in the term of Torrecaballeros, which offers different accommodation options Bikefriendly, in its fantastic hotels or in its simple posada.
