There are moments in every one’s life that are unforgettable, and many of them have to do with autumn, these moments of introspection that make us grow as persons.

It is essential to find the best place for these moments and surely, what better place than a fairy tale forest, or a solitary chestnut grove to recreate this dreamland where one may find oneself?

Is there anything more beautiful than an oak grove in autumn? A chestnut grove!

Our adventure begins with an excursion to the grove of Castañar de las Rozas de Puerto Real, and continues onwards to San Martín de Valdeiglesias, where we’ll visit the imposing Castillo de la Coracera, which takes us on an exciting trip back to the Middle Ages.

On the lands of Álvaro de Luna

After a rest in the pretty hotel of Hacienda La Coracera, we propose a trip to the Bosque Encantado or Enchanted Forest, a unique Botanical Garden in all of Europe, where you can relax and let yourself wander aimlessly on its paths, enjoying the beauty and magic of more than three hundred living sculptures.

Navalcarnero, like a movie set

Next, you can head to Navalcarnero, a 15th-century town that retains much of its original architecture. Around its beautiful Plaza de Segovia, you can find a variety of restaurants serving carefully prepared local dishes. Take a stroll through its winding streets and pay attention to the façades. You’ll find some optical illusions that look like real scenes from a film set. A fun walk for children, that’s for sure.
