Fantastic day - A most enjoyable trip with leader Harri. The weather was beautiful and views amazing. The trip was split up into 2 walks and time for lunch break in a pretty mountain village. Terrain was uphill but pace was gentle allowing us to take in the views and practice our walking techniques on the rocky terrain. We were amazed to see snow which had fallen in the previous days when we walked along the puerto de Morcuera. Hari was informative as to the geology and wildlife in the area. Would recommend to everyone who likes to be in the countryside.

Experience of Natural surroundings - We enjoyed Learning about the various flora and fauna in the park. Javier was very knowledgeable about the rocks and ecosystem that exists in Guadarrama Park. We hiked around 5 km. I recommend eating lunch at Sampedro postería if you can not get a table at the restaurant recommend by Javier. 6th

Amazing tour of a beautiful national park - I knew that when I went to Spain I wanted to get a chance to see some of the incredible natural areas in the country. I had seen Guadarrama National Park was close to Madrid and wanted to go, but I didn't know how I would easily see it without a vehicle. This tour was a great chance to see the National Park and learn more about the natural and cultural history of the area. Javi was an excellent tour guide. We saw quite a bit of the southern and central parts of the national park. The hiking was pretty moderate and I feel that it would be something that many people who go hiking with some frequency could accomplish. This was definitely a highlight of my trip.

Harder than expected. - The guide was lovely, but I feel the event could have better descriptions. The hike was strenuous with steep climbs, and sharp drops. The rocks were very slippery and better shoes would be recommended. I was expecting a leisurely hike, and it was not that. It would also be nice if they stopped at a restroom prior to lunch (4.5 hours in)
