I didn't realize that Madrid had a mountain range so close but the Sierra de Guadarrama, part of the larger Sistema Centra, are visible from Madrid and about an hours drive. We were not feeling up for snow sports but found a nice hike to a frozen lagoon.
It was a crisp and sunny day with plenty of winter hikers out. We felt a little unprepared as we were surrounded by people with full on winter gear, like crampons and climbing ropes. Luckily the trail was relatively well trodden and our footwear sufficed. The views of the lagoon were beautiful and as someone from a cold climate, I really enjoyed the mountain hike.
