Getting There

The reference point is the entrance of the first track past the Km. 49.2 of the M-501. At this point is reached from Madrid by Alcorcon (N-5), Villaviciosa de Odon, Brunete, Chapinera as long way from San Martin de Valdeiglesias. If we reached the bridge over the river-reservoir Alberche Picada, we spent 1.5 km (if we go from Madrid). We have found the entrance to the road located 100 meters from the Km 49.2 of the M-501, close to a restaurant "Meson del Puerto". This is a dirt road suitable for vehicles. In the beginning there is a closed diversion barrier (there is not, therefore). At about 300 meters we left climbing a barrier always open. About 2 km we find a first car from which the reservoir is and in which there is a gray container with wheels. We have not yet arrived. Continue another mile more to the second car park where there is a green container of trash. We parked and take off clothes (do not lower the car but it prevented the chain is broken, or we shall have no car). We went walking along the main road after chains about 15 minutes to arrive to the main beach.

Coordinates may not be exact, but they are close enough.,
