The hermitage of San Antonio de Padua in Robledo de Chavela (Madrid, Spain), is located on the outskirts of the town, in Cerro Robledillo, next to the El Cerro pine forest. The current hermitage is new and, curiously, has been built on top of the existing one, which it houses inside. From it you can see the curious and spectacular granite formation of the Risco de los Monaguillos, from which the views are spectacular. Near it, climbing the mountainside, you can see remains of trenches and bunkers from the Civil War. Near the hermitage is also the popular El Cañito fountain, where many hikers refuel with water. The walls of the hermitage are made of granite, and on the outside it has five buttresses.

This cave-shelter served as anti-aircraft protection during the Spanish Civil War. It belonged to the Republican side, and its strategic location against the hill made bombing difficult. It was built with pick and shovel after the Battle of Brunete.

This small reservoir draws its waters from the Perales River, which originates in the nearby area of Las Machotas, north of Zarzalejo. It was built in 1970 and currently offers paths along which it is very pleasant to walk and enjoy the views. It should be noted that in the eastern part is the Madrid Nautical Ski Club, with which it is possible to practice this sport.
