The route we are proposing this week covers the western end of the Sierra de Ayll\u00f3n<\/strong>The route takes us over the Somosierra pass, where the mountain range ends and the Guadarrama mountain range begins. On this route we will climb the last two mountain peaks of the Sierra de Ayll\u00f3n to the west, including the peak of Cebollera Vieja or Tres Provincias<\/strong>At this point the provinces of Guadalajara, Segovia and Madrid converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed itinerary is completely circular, covering the whole of the range from Pe\u00f1a Cebollera to the apex of Cebollera Nueva. In reality, the lower part of the sierra is more beautiful than the upper part - torn by the firebreaks - and Visiting the waterfall of the Litueros and walking through the Bonita dehesa de Somosierra are two excursions worth doing on their own.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Litueros Waterfall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Litueros Waterfall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Waterfall of the Litueros or Chorrera de los Litueros<\/strong> is a well-known waterfall, as it can be seen from the A1 motorway. This waterfall is one of the highest and most beautiful in the community of Madrid and canyoning is often practised in its waters (it is the only permitted canyon in the community and at weekends companies come and give courses). Among the latter, the waterfall is better known as Barranco de Somosierra. It is a small descent with a fairly flat and boxed-in first part, and a more vertical second part with three abseils, the longest of which is 30 metres long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waterfall is doubly well known, as it is popularly said that this is the source of the Durat\u00f3n river, famous for its gorges near Sep\u00falveda. In reality, the Durat\u00f3n is not actually born at the waterfall and is officially considered to originate at the confluence of the Pedrizas stream and the Pe\u00f1a stream. A very Segovian river born in Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Dehesa bonita de Somosierra<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Dehesa Boyal or Dehesa Bonita de Somosierra is one of the most beautiful wooded areas in the community of Madrid. A forest more typical of the north of the peninsula. It is a perfect place to walk through at any time of the year, although the autumn<\/a> is its most splendid moment, when the oak, mustard, birch, hazel and other species of the forest turn their leaves into the ochre colours we love so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meadow there are also several unique trees catalogued: two birch trees, a holly tree and two mustard trees. A small botanical jewel just a stone's throw from the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
