National Park information in Cercedilla · Las Dehesas car park by reservation and fee only, 240 spaces

The National Park centre in the Fuenfría valley is at km 2 of the Las Dehesas road (M-966), in Cercedilla. It gives information on routes such as the Roman road and the Bourbon road, and on the park's guided activities. The car park of the Las Dehesas recreation area takes 240 cars and in season you can only enter with a prior reservation and payment of the municipal fee. Without a car you can walk from Cercedilla station or take the Fuenfría Hospital bus.
Opening hours and what is inside
It is open every day: from January to March and in November and December, from 9:00 to 16:30; from April to October, from 9:00 to 19:00. The Park warns that the hours may change. The telephone is 918 52 22 13.
It has a reception, exhibition room, library and classroom, and the permanent exhibition "El Valle de La Fuenfría: una historia sostenible" (The Fuenfría Valley: a sustainable history), with panels and audiovisuals. Outside there is a rock garden, a plot with the valley's native vegetation and a stretch of the Roman road. With children, the self-guided game "El tesoro de La Tuerta" (The treasure of La Tuerta) turns the visit into a treasure hunt. The centre is accessible for people with reduced mobility. The toilets are in a separate building, on the other side of the road, and the centre's small car park allows stops of 10 minutes at most.
The Las Dehesas car park
It is run by Cercedilla Town Council and is booked at aparcamientos.cercedilla.es. The maximum daily rate is €8 for a car, €5 for a motorbike and €10 for a motorhome. You must book:

High season (1 June to 15 September): every day, from 8:00 to 20:00.
Low season (16 September to 31 May): Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, the eve of public holidays and long weekends, from 8:00 to 18:30.

Outside those days and hours you can park for free without a reservation. The spaces are not numbered and four are reserved for people with accredited reduced mobility. The number plate and type of vehicle are checked: if they do not match the booking, you will not be let in and the amount is not refunded. In snow, chains or winter tyres are compulsory. Parking is prohibited across the whole site from 22:00 to 8:00, and the booking does not include entry to the Las Berceas swimming pools.
