Maliciosa path

We begin this route, like many others, in the parking lot of the Port of Navacerrada. We walked up the street leading to the cabin chairlift of the World Ball and we turn right, after passing through the Red Cross and the Civil Guard barracks, to continue along the path of other known routes, which it is the path of the Pleiades, by which we will upload the track to link up with concrete, and without leaving, We will reach the building repeater TV, which border by the right and find the geodesic, after traveling an hour 3,5kms. We continue along the building, to find a path that descends to the right to pass near the ruins of an ancient shelter. This road leads downhill to the pass of the Piornal (5 km in half an hour from the start) where we see a pluviometer, near which we pass to start an ascent by a stone quarry in about half an hour we will achieve the top of the Maliciosa. From here we have a magnificent view of much of the Madrid mountains: We see the swamp and the town of Navacerrada, we looked at the area of ​​the Barranca, from where we will go another time, we can see the dam of Manzanares el Real and the people, Helm and Tolmo of Pedriza, and even on a clear day our sight can reach Madrid. The best is to come up with a good map to locate everything that reach to see. The way back we will do the same which has served us to get here. Alternatively we can use all the concrete track, rather than divert to the path of the Pleiades. In any case, It is a route that has the maximum difficulty to the beginning when we bridge the gap of about 400 meters between the port of Navacerrada and trig of the Ball of the World.
