Discover the Magic of Night Hiking in Manzanares El Real.

Join us for a special night hiking trip in Manzanares El Real, located in the beautiful Sierra de Guadarrama mountains. As the sun goes down and the stars appear, you will enjoy a peaceful and unique experience in nature.

The hike takes place in La Pedriza, a well-known area for its amazing rock formations and natural beauty. The first part of the trail is not too difficult, with some small climbs and descents. However, the way back will be a bit more challenging, with many rocks along the path. Some parts may be steep and slippery. The trail includes both wide paths and narrow walking tracks.
