Circular route around the Picadas reservoir that invites you to disconnect and immerse yourself in one of the most tranquil and least traveled landscapes of the Sierra Oeste de Madrid.

The main highlight is the Picadas reservoir, whose waters accompany part of the route and offer open and serene views, creating a perfect contrast with the green of the forest. It is an environment that conveys silence, spaciousness, and connection with nature.
An ideal route to enjoy without haste, where each section invites you to stop, observe, and let yourself be carried away by the tranquility of the water and the forest.
