    Getting There

    By Train -- By far the most convenient way to get to Cercedilla is by cercanías (suburban line C-8b) train from Chamartín. They run at least once an hour and the journey time is an hour and 20 minutes. Once at the town you can take an additional single-gauge train trip via Puerto de Navacerrada and spectacular pine forest scenery up to the 1,700m-high (5,577-ft.) Cotos -- a ski center in winter and mountain walker's base in summer. This runs every 2 hours and the trip last 40 minutes. The last train back to Madrid leaves Cercedilla at 10:35pm.

    By Bus -- The Larrea bus company provides an hourly service (no. 684) from Moncloa bus station.

    By Car -- Take the N-VI highway to Guadarrama town and then bear left on the M-995 which brings you to Cercedilla.

    Visitor Information

    An information office is located in the town center near the town hall (tel. 91-852-02-00). A kilometer inland from the railway station is the Fuenfría Valley Information Center, which gives details of six differently graded walks in the area along routes where tree trunks are marked in different colors according to each individual route so you don't lose your way. It's open all year-round from 9am to 6pm except for the following Christmas and New Year fiesta days: December 25 and 31 and January 1 and 6.
