Cercedilla likes to call itself the hiking capital of the Madrid sierra, and the Fuenfría valley is largely to blame. A taxi from Madrid covers the 55 kilometres in around 55 minutes, from €82, and can leave you exactly where the trails begin rather than where the town's tarmac runs out. Fewer wasted kilometres, more mountain.

The beauty of going by taxi lies precisely in where you get out. Arrive by public transport and the hike starts with an uphill trudge across town; come in a hire car and you lose a good while hunting for parking. The taxi, by contrast, climbs to the mouth of the Fuenfría valley and the walk starts where it ought to: among the pines, on fresh legs, with the whole day ahead.

The valley hides a gem that surprises everyone who treads it for the first time: the Roman road, snaking beneath the forest canopy and letting you walk over centuries of history almost without noticing. It is a comfortable route to follow and a generous one for mixed groups — the kind that pair scenery seekers with those who enjoy imagining carts and legions.

In summer the plan changes register: the natural pools become the family magnet, and the car takes everything a water day demands — coolbox, towels, armbands — with no negotiating over space. Before heading back, it is worth a look at the historic railway station, a period piece that captures Cercedilla's mountain character in a single image.

Long routes call for an early start, and this is where the service pulls ahead: pickup at your doorstep at whatever time you set, even in the dark, and a return agreed for whenever you reckon to finish. And if your traverse is linear and ends at another point of the valley, the logistics adapt: you walk from one end to the other and the car waits at the second.
