This same priority has been shared in the meeting held this Friday by Martín Aguirre with his counterpart in Castilla y León, Nicanor Sen, as this enclave of the Sierra de Guadarrama is a space shared by both autonomous communities.

Same access criteria: residents, workers and collective transport
