A medieval village with cobbled streets whose mansions take you back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The Plaza Mayor with its characteristic colonnade and terraces is particularly worth seeing. The castle is privately owned and can only be visited with a guided tour at certain times. Since the village is so worth seeing, this can be overcome.

The 17th century church of San Andrés is located in the Plaza de España, the central point of the town of Cantalejo, declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1995. Right next to it there is a water fountain.

We are at the Convento de la Hoz Viewpoint, which offers us beautiful panoramic views of the meanders of the Duratón River and the Hoz Monastery located in the town of La Hoz de la Vieja. It is accessed via a beautiful forest track of a few kilometers and upon arrival it impresses you with its spectacular views. Highly recommended!

One of the most impressive towns in the south of the Sierra de Guadarrama and which consists of a castle that rises and the entire town surrounded by a wall. From afar you can see the center and the Sierra in the background, in winter, completely covered in snow!
