Pinilla Reservoir Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Site on the side of the road that offers us one of the best panoramic views of the Pinilla reservoir and the town of Lozoya. Following the same path, you can go around the reservoir completely, a very quiet walk without difficulty that, depending on the time of year, offers unique and very picturesque landscapes.

Pinilla Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

It is a privileged place, surrounded by majestic peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama and nestled in the upper course of the Lozoya River.

In 1964 the people of Madrid had to submit to numerous restrictions and this was precisely the year in which the Pinilla dam was built, very close to Pinilla del Valle.

La Pinilla is one of the five reservoirs of the Lozoya River, along with El Atazar, Riosequillo, El Villar and Puentes Viejas.

Rascafría is an interesting and pretty mountain town with cobbled streets and beautiful views. One of my favorite places to visit while there is the Natural Chocolate Artisan Chocolate Factory. Perfect if you need a little extra power for the extra miles.

Monastery of El Paular

Highlight • Religious Site

The history of this monastery can be grouped around three main axes: El Paular-Cartuja (1390-1835), El Paular disentailed (1835-1954) and El Paular recovered for monastic life (1954-until today).
huerta_paularThe foundation of the Charterhouse of Santa María de El Paular dates back to 1390. The House of Trastamara granted it great privileges and defrayed the costs of the works throughout the reign. Juan I began to erect the first Cartuja de Castilla, where there were already some hunting palaces that are cited in Alfonso X's Book of Falconry and a Hermitage called Santa María del Pobolar. This is how the first Cartuja de Castilla was built and the sixth of the Carthusian foundations in Spain.

Las Presillas Natural Pools

Las Presillas are natural pools located in Rascafria, in the El Paular Valley.
They are included in a recreational area that has wide green meadows and a bathing area (divided into three natural pools) in the Lozoya riverbed, with spectacular views of Pico Peñalara.
