Plaza de España, Rascafría
Highlight • Settlement
Its main monument is the Monastery of Santa María del Paular, nestled in a privileged setting blanketed with pine and oak forests. As its name suggests, it is one of the coldest villages in the Madrid region.

Monastery of El Paular
Highlight • Religious Site
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.
