Ramon and Pep are already common and Irene was released a few months ago SEVEN PEAKS ... Amanda debuts today with us, hopefully not the last ... After arduous discussions on where to go for not too much abuse the men @ s @ s @ s train, we opted for the Camorca an easy climb to a summit panoramic ...
We left the Port of Navacerrada Las Siete Revueltas and descend to reach the starting point in the PK131, where the track starts Valsaín forest towards a gate closed to unauthorized vehicles ...
... there are three vehicles parked at the entrance to the track so we decided to park the van in the existing facilities for maintenance and upkeep of the CL-601 road, directly opposite the door, big mistake, at this facility is allowed to enter. .. as we prepare to relax, a car of the Civil Guard on to us, the agent kindly scolds us because we have not seen the two existing directional signs prohibited and wants us to move the van, fortunately without penalty ... We note for the next, you can only park at the entrance to the track ...
