Parque Forestal de Valdebebas covers 470 hectares of young forest planted to recreate five landscapes of central Spain. Families follow 32 km of paths and 5 km of bike lanes past two lagoons and an artificial river, climb the Laberinto, a wooden spiral that doubles as a lookout, and end up at the hillside metal slides on the east side.
