FAQs: Hiking in Madrid

What should I know about Hiking Madrid?

Madrid is an exemplary destination for any hiking enthusiast. To the north, the Sierra de Guadarrama tower over the city, providing incredible views and plenty of hiking trails to follow.

A bit farther to the west, the Sierra de Gredos provides an even more remote and equally stunning experience. Among the favourites in this mountain range is spending a couple of days heading to Cathedral Ridge and the Great Tower.
Just a little farther east of the Sierra de Gredos is the Sierra de Bejar and Hoyamoros. Trekking through the mountains and camping under the stars in this part of Spain makes you feel like you are within the pages of Don Quijote.

Why should I choose Madrid for my Hiking adventure?

Stunning scenery

Just outside of the city limits, rugged mountain peaks, resilient forests and pristine mountain lakes await. Heading out for a hike around the Spanish capital brings you closer to the area’s nature and provides incredible views. Hiking up into the mountains just outside of the city provide incredible views back into the metropolis.

Guadarrama National Park

Nestled into the Sierra de Guadarrama is Spain’s fifth largest national park. Composed of forest, lakes and mountains, Guadarrama National Park is the perfect place for a hiking adventure. Whether you have a single day or the entire week to spend exploring, there is plenty to see in this scenic spot, from incredible mountain vistas to idyllic towns tucked into a forgotten valley.

Visit the city

When you are not laced into your hiking boots and exploring the gorgeous scenery, take in some of the world-class city that is Madrid. Head to the various tapas bars for papas bravas, jamon crudo and of course a caña of local beer. Visit El Prado and the numerous parks before dining on a paella in Plaza España. Madrid is a large and cosmopolitan city with plenty to experience.

Pedro was so knowledgeable about the area, and graciously answered all our questions, even those unrelated to the hike. He was very kind in picking us up from Madrid for a small fee. He also took a bunch of photos of my husband and I during the trek, which I really appreciated since those are our only pictures together from our trip to Spain. I'd definitely recommend Pedro to anyone traveling to Madrid and interested in experiencing nature outside the city.
