If a week ago we were running through the Sierra de Guadarrama and admiring their reservoirs, I have to confess that this past Sunday, I ran the same mountains, but also kept admiring and wandering through the reservoirs of it. This time it was the turn of theNavacerrada’s Dam, but this time if I was running along the shoreline, and the Maliciosa’s Dam. Because we are like in the goose game, from dam to dam I move as I choose.
But to reach the Navacerrada’s Dam, first I had to run down the slopes of Cerro del Castillo, in the area of Hontanilla, with a few plain kilometers to warm muscles at that hour of the morning, but after a kilometer and a half more or less, we turn off on a path that goes down to Collado Mediano to immediately climb to Cerro del Castillo (1339). From this moment we drove through the small rope of the Cerro to the Reajo del Roble.
Arriving at Reajo, we cross heading towards the Dehesa de la Golondrina, although we will not get into it, but we crossed the M-601 to get into the grounds of the Navacerrada’s Dam. And ignoring the signs of No Bathing (and also the temperature at this time of the morning), I decided not to bathe, and I just ran around it.
After drinking some water, we started down the dam, but now the track has quite loose stone, and a drop quite pronounced in some areas. At the end we join the track of the beginning of the run, and return by the same route to the gravel pit, only instead of back on the Camino del Dedo again, we crossed the M-607 and back through the pine forest which is located Across the road, in the area of Horcajos.
As always we leave the track of our route
