By bicycle from Brunete to Quijorna

Set off from the historic town of Brunete, nestled just west of Madrid. Your ride starts in a place known for its peaceful plazas and important role in the Spanish Civil War. The route to Quijorna is a short but sweet gravel adventure—just under 7 km! Expect wide rural tracks with a good deal of unpaved and gravel surfaces, so chunky tires are your friend.

The path rolls gently, and thanks to a net descent, you’ll enjoy a mostly downhill experience with some easy pedaling. You’ll be surrounded by open fields and dryland pines, making it a classic slice of Madrid countryside. Quijorna, your destination, is a sleepy village perfect for a relaxing post-ride coffee.

Overall, it’s an ideal stretch if you’re looking for a quiet, scenic escape from the city—great for gravel bikes or sturdy hybrids.
