You can start your visit in Patones de Abajo, visit the Museum of the geological classroom, located in a place of extraordinary geological value. Outside the museum, we can see a collection of rocks representative of the Sierra Norte. After the visit to the museum, Patones de Arriba awaits you after climbing the ecological path of El Barranco, a path of just 750 meters in which as we gain altitude we can enjoy a breathtaking landscape.

Patones de Arriba is one of the eleven Villas de Madrid, a group of unique destinations for the recognized value of its Cultural Heritage, which have managed to preserve their rural authenticity.
