Interest points
1. From Plaza Castilla to Rascafría
After 2 ½ hours by bus, visiting many of the villages in the mountains of Madrid, we reached the town center Rascafría.
To reach the hostel there is a path to walk (about 30-40 minutes) by a stream ... On the way is also the Monastery of The Paular.

2. High Telegraph
The first day we left the hostel by bus route to Navacerrada. Once there, we started the climb (quite "light) to High, or Telegraph Hill, where we are going to undertake the activity of climbing.
The view from there is no waste ...

High Telegraph
3. The Clips ...
This is natural swimming pools interconnected by small waterfalls and surrounded by an expanse of lawn where you lie to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine of the mountain ... The water is pretty cold, but a bath and after hours up and down hills and cliffs is quite a healing therapy ...

4. Peñalara Natural Park
The second day we go by bus to the Park entrance. Once there, start a long walk (this time a little more bit moved) through more or less accessible trails and rocks of considerable size.
We climb to the Laguna de Peñalara and a little higher (at almost 2,000 m.) began rappelling activity.
The gap in the photograph is of the few where he still lives newt (amphibian endangered) for access to this beautiful "pond" is completely forbidden.
