El Atazar Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Built in 1972 and belonging to the Isabel II canal, the El Atazar reservoir is the largest in Madrid, representing 46% of the community's embalmed water. Located in a rugged enclave full of slate, the landscape that surrounds the reservoir and that is born from its waters is spectacular, giving way to monumental natural routes and walks through its surrounding historical towns.

Views of the Lozoya River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lozoya is an important tributary of the Jarama along whose 91 kilometer route six reservoirs have been built. Right at this point, the valley takes the shape of a canyon due to its proximity to the El Villar reservoir, where the course of the river narrows to a great extent.

Castle of the Mendoza Family (Buitrago de Lozoya)

Highlight • Castle

Located on an old Muslim fortress reconquered in 1085 under the reign of Alfonso VI. The first testimonies of the castle come from the hand of Alfonso VII, who gave the properties to the dukes of Mendoza. These, in the s. XV, they would build a castle fortified by seven different towers, built with brick in the Mudejar style. The Marquis of Santillana and, later, Juana de Portugal and her daughter, Juana la Beltraneja, would reside there.
During the War of Independence, the French would use the fortress as a barracks, fleeing from it in 1813, destroying it in their escape, then beginning its deterioration.
It currently has a bullring inside and has been closed for restoration since 2016. It is a historical gem that should not be overlooked if you visit the Madrid town.

Old Lozoyuela Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The old Lozoyuela station was located on the direct Madrid-Burgos railway line, operational between 1968 and 2011. Completed during the Franco dictatorship, it was one of the most tedious projects on the Spanish railway network, taking around 50 years to build. Today, we find various stations, fragments of track, tunnels and former prisons of those who built the line.
