Tips for visiting Buitrago de Lozoya

It's always a good idea to plan ahead. The fortifications are divided into two zones. We have the lower walkway, that can be freely accessed from the medieval garden or from the Castle square. There you can see the Castle and the Coracha section of the walls. The other zone is on the south side —the high wall— which can be entered from the church of Santa María del Castillo during opening hours. It leads into the Torre del Reloj and to the exhibition of siege machines.

High wall

Ascend as high as possible to ensure the best defense and stake your claim to the skies.

On the other side of Calle de la Tahona

Making history: every historical period has left its signature on the town, most of which we can still enjoy today.

Walking among the hills

Legends of cattle herders, merchants and warriors narrated by means of the trails scattered all around the town.
