Labores Stream Pool

Highlight • Lake

A beautiful place, ideal for taking a break on your route and enjoying the wonderful landscape that surrounds this small pond that is located in the heart of the Alberche oak forest and on the bed of the Labores stream. If you are here in summer you can take the opportunity to take a refreshing swim.

The Cistercian monastery of Pelayos de la Presa is the oldest monastic complex in Madrid. It dates back to the 12th century, and although it was renovated in the 15th, its abandonment after the confiscation of Mendizabal has caused its current state.

Looking up the cliff on the other side of the road you can see the vultures peeking out and landing. It is essential to stop to see it.
