JAN SAT 17 - MEDIUM/EASY HIKE - River Cofio - Medieval bridge - Views - BY BUS

Led by our specialist mountain guide, we'll be doing this nice medium level hike with a late start, accessible by public bus, close the water, along the off-the-beaten path low mountains of Valdemaqueda (no snow or winds!), on the western Guadarrama Sierra. We'll be passing a medieval bridge over the Cofio river for extra Instagram pleasure, there's a super cool spot to eat a picnic there :)

THE HIKE

• Distance 15 km

• Approx time 4h with (MANY) stops

• Difficulty: Easy/Medium. It's a short length hike, not too many hours of duration. The 'hardest' part (if you can call it that) would be the gradual uphill hiking in the beginning and at the end, but it's not specially steep and not for a long time. There are no high peaks. The terrain is not technical, mostly trails and a firebreak. Of course, we’re going up a low peak, so even though no steep incline, we’ll be slowly walking up for a bit!

PRICE 27€

Includes ...

• Route's organization and personal attention (email, whatsapp, tel)

• Route's leader (speaks English, Spanish)

• Liability and accident insurance (both for Spain's residents and non-residents)
