Bustarviejo walks

The small rural village of Bustarviejo offers plenty of places to explore, but the highest peak is Mondalindo (also known as Cabeza del Cervunal). This circular route begins with a straight forward climb to the rocky outcrop that is the Cancho del Mondalindo and La Almohadilla. The route down is a bit less clear, next to the stream de las Ferminas.

The Sierra de Guadarrama, north of the capital city Madrid, is part of Spain's Central Mountain System. The highest point is Peñalara, standing at 2,428 metres (7,966 ft) above sea level. This is a collection of walks that reveals the diverse nature of this range of mouintains, partly within a National Park, sometimes climbing to the highest peaks, sometimes meandering through the villages and valleys. Most routes are circular and many can be reached with public transport.

This is a simple walk in one of the most beautiful areas of the Sierra de Guadarrama, beginning and ending in the historical town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. The route is designed to go past the old snow wells that were created in the 17th century and go around the Pico de Abantos.
