September 26, 2023.- The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, through the National Parks Autonomous Agency (OAPN), offers the Guided Routes and Didactic Excursions Program Autumn, which aims to bring the general public closer to natural and landscape values through the discovery of the traditions and history that make up the landscape of the Valsaín Mountains and the Segovian slope of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park.
There are 26 free activities on offer, which will take place on Saturdays and Sundays in September, October, November and December.
Two are the modalities:
