Circular route, preferably to be done in autumn, winter or spring, especially due to the diversity of colors. For the most daring in summer. The journey runs, in the first kilometers, through scrub landscapes, characterized by abundance of broom, holm oaks, fig trees, junipers, etc. On this route we passed through the Molar Watchtower, an Arab construction, during the caliphate of "Al Andalus", in their dispute with the Christians, whose purpose was military, defensive and strategic, and from which large tracts of land could be seen in the 360 degrees, where the eye cannot see. After approaching the valley through which the Guadalix river flows, which has its source in Morcuera; The landscapes and cliffs are placed before us, delighting the hiker with views of a quality of exquisite beauty. As this route lacks any water point, it is highly recommended to stockpile good water reserves, especially in summer, since although it is not a difficult journey, it should not be taken lightly because it is moderate.
Enjoy this route and, above all, conserve nature!
