🌙 Night Hiking Experience
Join us for an unforgettable evening hike as we make our way from Navacerrada Pueblo into the beautiful Valle de la Barranca. We’ll follow one of Madrid’s most scenic trails, enjoying the city lights by night and panoramic views from the Mirador de las Canchas.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hike Information
This is a medium-difficulty hike, approximately 14 km long with an elevation gain of 450 meters. The hike will take around 6 hours to complete.
The trail is a combination of single-track paths and wider forest trails, with a few steep and slippery sections, so proper hiking / sports shoes with nice grip are strongly recommended.
We will start in Navacerrada town and make our way into the Valle de la Barranca, eventually joining the Senda Ortiz—widely considered one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Madrid.

Once we reach the high point of the hike, we’ll have 2 to 3 hours for rest or light sleep under the stars. Please bring a sheet or light cover to stay warm and comfortable.
