The ride
This 53.4 km loop rolls out of La Granja and back again. You pass the manor houses of Caballerizas Reales and Casa de Canónigos, then ride through the nature reserve of the Sierra de Guadarrama Norte. The Eresma river and the Río Frío accompany you along the way, and the Palacio Real de Balsaín castle marks the final stretch home.
