Active routes

THE MIACCUM ROUTE

The Miaccum route runs along comfortable tracks through the oak and ash meadow in the municipality of Collado Mediano. This landscape of unquestionable beauty harmoniously preserves humanized landscapes with important historical and cultural resources that today constitute a record of the modes of occupation and use of the lands at the foot of the mountain over centuries.

The route goes past the visitor centre and the Roman site of Miaccum, specifically located in the area known as El Beneficio. The archaeological complex was an old Roman inn with several well-differentiated rooms that can be visited with a guide by request at the Town Hall. From the archaeological site, the route returns to the town centre, through the municipal meadows and the Ramiro fountain.

THE JARALÓN ROUTE

The Jaralón route runs along the southern slope of the Sierra del Castillo through the Jaralón and Cerro del Castillo mountains along trails, paths and forest tracks. The route goes along paths up the Arroyo de Pozas valley to the summit of the Jaralón, an important viewing point with beautiful views over the municipality of Collado Mediano. From there, you reach the pass of Roblepollo, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the Sierra de Guadarrama towards the north slope.

The route now runs along comfortable tracks, then descends to the town centre, passing through the surroundings of the Cobañera natural monument, a granite monolith featured on the town’s coat of arms.
