Along the route passes through the recreational areas of the seats and the donkey's mouth, where they can also let the car.

Route that runs through the upper Eresma River, formerly called River Valsaín Areva. May arise in many ways, because throughout the entire route are starting points from which or to terminate the route. This is a convenient layout and routing, no loss to follow the entire river. Besides the beautiful scenery, visiting plants, banks and pine forests of the Montes de Valsaín, has a unique historical and cultural value.

this route is developed in the countryside for the remains of the trail that King Carlos III ordered its construction in the eighteenth century to enjoy the rides and fishing during their summer stays at the Palacio de La Granja. Advance on the path of a nearby river, through oak and pine forests, crossing rugged Roman bridges. A dream ride for lovers of beauty and history more natural. Leaving

Valsaín. Behind the bullring we are heading towards an iron gate (the caretaker of the park) to go towards the river Eresma, which will cross a wooden bridge clearly visible, walking since then by the left bank of the river to the canal bridges built in the Age of Philip II to carry water to Valsaín Palace, which now lies in ruins. This is a place of great beauty.

continue along either banks of the river to reach the rest area of \u200b\u200bthe seats (in just 45 minutes.) Continuing along the river, reaching the Wagon Bridge Nava. At this time we will continue our way to the right side of river.

Ten minutes after the bridge you will find a stone with the Royal Coat of Carlos III, and just 15 minutes later arrive at the recreation area of \u200b\u200bthe donkey's mouth, ideal for rest and spend a real picnic and nature or even bathe in the waters of Eresma.

Valsaín return to the same path. We may choose to return along the river opposite to that by which we get here, to know both sides of Eresma.

Another route:
Valsaín Leaving behind the bullring towards the river, an iron door will give way to the farm known as the park, where walk upstream along the left margin, having crossed by a wooden bridge located very close to the keeper of the park, we just crossed. So

reach the canal bridges, striking, some say of Roman origin, due to its construction in the form of pipeline. But nothing is all contrasted and its origin is somewhat desconocido.Pasamos a revolving door at Channel Bridge and see the canal bridge, on the hollow log that crosses it is the transport of water. We crossed the river again via the Bridge, and continued our way up the river, this time by the right side of Eresma, enjoying an increasingly attractive route that as we move forward in striking gains.

So come to the first recreation area: the seats, where there is parking for cars, wooden benches and tables scattered throughout the pine forest and a small park with swings and slides for children. Later we Nava Find yourselves with the Wagon Bridge. With two eyes, one crossed by the river and a smaller right to cross on foot. During the trip we appreciate as we walked along a paved road that appears and disappears continuously, is the Royal Path of Fisheries, which we will reward each step with exciting new attractions. Carlos III, 53, did not hesitate to use for two years (1767-1769) their best teachers work to condition the Left Bank Eresma. In this way is called Royal Way of Fisheries, its purpose was to facilitate fishing on royalty also encourage a suitable environment for raising trout (deductions were created in the course of the river and through gentle waterfalls is oxygenated water).

The road leads to another recreational area: the ass's mouth. Tucked between the narrowness of its rocks, in the past that offered shelter and resting place for kings, field dressed, liked to snack on these sites. He was also chosen by scientists and researchers as Castellarnau (XIX century), who liked for its ornithological or botanical observations. If we approach the river, a carved crown along with text indicates the date of preparation of the road. It can be seen from a viewpoint waters under the bridge in full narrowness. Always on the river reach the wooden bridge known as Ponte Vadillos, and from there to what was the House Fisheries, where nothing remains of what was a former ranger's house.

From the Interpretation Center of Valsaín Pine, which is located in "The Donkey's Mouth", is conducting a series of guided tours, summer and winter are marked by pine forests. There are some brochures that can be used as a guide when going for a walk in the pine forest.

The best way to know the area is through the Interpretation Centre, the source of the pine forest, you can see how it grows, how it develops. With the burden of cities, people have to breathe fresh air and with these routes, escape the pollution is possible. There are 8 routes, of these, three depart from Navacerrada and three from the mouth of the ass.

The route described may not correspond 100% with the route marked on the map for more intense color, but can serve as a guide for the area.
Anecdotes: Mucha was the supporters of King Charles III to go these places with his cane in search of wild trout, as ordered to build in the left bank of Rio de Valsain a great road that became so hard fans pleasant pastime.

One time we went we swam in a pool that had near an old water mill. It was summer and it was very hot and I remember that we had no bikini and we had to swim with clothes.
