As a conclusion to our Geography Unit (Rivers and Mountains) we are going out on a nature walk. We shall start at the Embalse del Pontón and finish at Boca del Asno. All in La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia) area, on the other side of the Puerto de Navacerrada. Check here for a Google Maps image of our route. This map is not perfect because we will follow the river bank, and Google´s version follows the road. Here you have more information about our route.
During the first half of our journey (4km) we will try to follow the Eresma River without getting lost. Mr Nelson doesn´t know this, but he will lead (hahahahaha!). We will take some photos and maybe splash a bit. We will have lunch in Valsain.
During the second half (4km) we will pass Valsain. Then, following El Camino de las Pesquerías, we will visit the area we call Los Asientos, we will try not to be attacked by cows, horses, tigers and other wild animals; and finally we will see the waterfalls and ponds that take us to Boca del Asno.There we will have a Hee-Haw (braying) Competition and we will finish by visiting the Centre of Interpretation if we have time, and having a snack in the Chiringuitow if it´s open!.
Here´s a map
What do we need to bring?
- Authorization signed by parents
- Sporty shoes or trekking boots
- A water-bottle with lots of water
- Sun-cream and cap if you are sun sensitive
- Food if you are a Home-For-Lunch
- A snack in case you feel hungry
- 1-2€ for an ice-cream in the Chiringuitow (if it´s open)
- A sweet or two if you think 8km is too much walking
- A camera (or mobile) if your parents allow you to, for the Photography Competition
- Swimming suit on if you really want to splash hard. A towel and clean underwear to change.
- Lots of Love and Respect for Nature.
