By bicycle
Carry a helmet, water, food, and tools: many tracks in the Natural Park are long, lacking fountains or mobile reception. Ride slowly, yield to walkers, and remain on authorised tracks.
Before you set out
Carry water, mountain footwear, and download the GPS track in advance: mobile reception is absent in many areas. Check the forecast on Today in the Alto Tajo and the official trail sheet for notices and closures, and respect seasonal restrictions during raptor breeding periods.
