Cadalso de los Vidrios acquired fame in the 16th and 17th centuries thanks to the fact that its glass factory supplied the royal pharmacy of the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. In the municipality there are important historical buildings, such as the Renaissance palace of Villena. This town is located at the top of the hillside, which allows you to contemplate the Alberche valley majestically.
