We start the route from the La Barranca Parking in Navacerrada and head out on the trail, but soon cross the small dam of the Air Force Reservoir and walk along the Alakan Trail, which ascends on the left side of the Navacerrada River.
We enter the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park and reach La Puerta de la Maliciosa, where the steep climb begins along the PR-M26, leading us to the Piornal Pass at 2,074 meters above sea level.
We turn right onto the PR-M16 to summit La Maliciosa at 2,227 meters above sea level, where we enjoy its stunning views.
We retrace our steps along the PR-M16 to the Piornal Pass and continue climbing towards the Bola del Mundo or Alto de las Guaramillas at 2,265 meters above sea level.
We descend via the Ventisquero de la Estrada and the Pipeline path back to the La Barranca Parking.
A classic route in the Sierra de Navacerrada, beautiful and somewhat demanding due to its more than 1,000 meters of cumulative ascent.
