It is said that Madrid’s Sierra Oeste is one of the best preserved natural spaces in the Region, and also one with the greatest biodiversity. This extensive and varied area ranges from the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos to the west and the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama to the east, to the plains of the southern sub-plateau.

Visit to the visigoth cemetery or excursion to Fuente de la Cancha

On the first day, we recommend a half-day excursion that allows us to save our strength for the second day, at the same time that it lets us visit the castle of La Coracera, which is worth exploring.
Once this excursion is over, we propose taking the rest of the day to relax and choose among the wine tourism options available to us at San Martín de Valdeiglesias, or exploring its culinary delights.

Pantano de San Juan and Cerro de las Cabreras

The second day, we must wake up early and pack some lunch and water in a backpack to take along with us. Depending on the visitors’ level of experience, it may or may not be worth hiring the services of an excursion company. Not only do mountain guides provide a degree of safety, they are also a good source of information on the geology, fauna, flora, as well as the history and unique characteristics of each route.
