We meet at 8:30pm and run 2 laps around Retiro park. The meeting spot is just inside the park, up the ramp from the Retiro metro tunnel. We usually wait about 10 minutes and then go -- so latecomers should run counter-clockwise and try to meet us along the path. See you!

20€ is the reservation price, full price and what it includes, below From Puerto de Navacerrada to Puerto de la Morcuera. This is without any doubt, Madrid's number one long hike. If you like hiking you MUST do this one. It's very demanding on one single day, but very accesible and a lot nicer, in two days. We get to enjoy the sunset from the trail, which overlooks the whole of Madrid's province and beyond. This is one of those physically demanding, and visually fascinanting route. 15 people max. This hike takes you in a lineal trail, all the time along the crest, passing the highest peaks in the region (with the exception of Peñalara) Bola del Mundo 2.258 m Alto de Valdemartin, 2.283 m Cabeza de Hierro Menor, 2.376 m Cabeza de Hierro Mayor, 2.382 m Loma del Pandasco, 2.244 m Navahondilla, 2.234 m Asomate de Hoyos, 2.242 m Bailanderos, 2.133 m La Najarra, 2.120 m Only suitable for those who know and want what they're gonna get :) If you don't mind walking long hours and hiking uphill, if you thrive in challenges, you'll love it. We don't race up, we take it easy, don't be scared, we're not professional mountaneers! We stop frequently. But if you are looking for something shorter and less demanding, this is probably not going to be your cup of tea. To avoid doing a killer 10h walk, and to make the most of our weekend, spending the evening with a glass of wine and the impressive views, we'll be spitting it in two days, camping close to Peña Vaqueros.
