Stage 9: Manzanares el Real to Moralzarzal

Description

From Manzanares, head to El Boalo, along the signposted road that you will find north of the road, at the very edge of the Guadarrama National Park. El Boalo is a village that preserves a good sample of traditional granite architecture from the quarries of the area. Also here, as in other towns of the Sierra, you will find some old foal of iron. It is interesting to get closer to the area known as El Rebollar Hill, where there is a Visigoth necropolis from the 6th and 7th centuries. Camino de Cerceda, the surroundings can not be more attractive. Look back from time to time and contemplate the cliffs of the highest part of La Pedriza. They are really spectacular views. From Cerceda to Moralzarzal you will arrive by a cattle way very evident and comfortable. Enjoy it. In Moranzarzal you will find all kinds of services, including specialized services for cyclists
