Tips from the Community
A very pleasant pass to climb up the Puebla de la Sierra side. To do this, you have to access it from Robledillo, with very steep ramps to warm up, and a few kilometers on a narrow and bumpy road. The views and the route are totally worth it. Avoid weekends, especially busy hours, as motorcycles, and especially cars, can spoil the party a bit, as I say, the road is very narrow. There is a fountain at the lowest point between Robledillo and Puebla, and another one when leaving Puebla de la Sierra. They are the only two points where you will be able to fill your bottles "for free".

Although you go up by road, it is a very nice climb with relatively little traffic, other than the motorcycles that are going to enjoy the curves. We, on the other hand, will twist with each curve in which the slope increases. Harder than the numbers say

The Collado de la Fragüela is a hill that can be reached by the M-130 as soon as you leave Robledillo de la Jara towards Puebla de la Sierra and at the top we will find a large antenna.

A beautiful town in a privileged location, between the Lozoya River Reservoir that bears the name of El Atazar, and the Sierra Norte of Madrid and Guadalajara. The surrounding landscape is extraordinary.

Built in 1972 and belonging to the Isabel II canal, the El Atazar reservoir is the largest in Madrid, housing 46% of the community's impounded water. Located in a rugged enclave full of slate, the landscape that surrounds the reservoir and that is born from its waters is spectacular, giving way to monumental natural routes and walks through its surrounding historic towns.
