A view into the mountains |
One of the things Madrileños tend to do is escape to the mountains. The city is surrounded by mountains most notably the Sierra de Guadarrama, Sierra del Norte and the Sierra de Gredos. There are loads of small mountain towns peppered throughout the mountains and their surroundings are perfect places for long walks. There are still many people that herd animals and thus there are a variety of trails to wander on. The backdrop of both the mountains and views into the plains below are stunning.
I always enjoy visiting friends in the mountains and it is only natural to go on a walk. This year the spring time weather was particularly inviting and thus a perfect excuse to get out. Although there are natural parks and protected areas around (such as La Pedra) what is so nice about these villages is that you can literally step out the back door and find a suitable area to enjoy.
