I´m so happy I did this hike! It was nice to get outside the city and talk with a local about Madrid and Spain in general. Marcos gave very good instructions on how to get to Cercedilla. The hike was beautiful and he gave us interesting history along the way, we got to pet some wild horses and a mule, drink fresh spring water. After, we got fresh bread from a local and ate at this hidden gem of a restaurant. This was one of my favorite things I did while in Madrid, highly recommended!
