Stage Description
At this stage, the pilgrim says goodbye to the province of Toledo to enter the Community of Madrid. The landscape changes notably, entering into the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos. The terrain becomes more mountainous and demanding, with ascents and descents through a landscape of pine forests and oak groves. The arrival in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, an important village with a castle and a rich wine tradition, is the end of an episode of great natural beauty and a considerable physical challenge. It is the entrance to the Madrid Sierra.
