メホラダデルカンポのおすすめツーリングルート

Without a doubt, one of those places in Madrid where you can find tranquility

A pleasant place to rest

Loeches has been the residence of nobles and influential houses of the Spanish bourgeoisie for the last five hundred years. In the 16th century it was named a town by order of Charles I and in 1633 it became the domain of the Count-Duke of Olivares, favourite of Philip IV, providing the town with an important historical, cultural and monumental heritage also linked to the House of Alba. The Monastery of the Immaculate Conception, known as the “Convento Grande”, houses the Pantheon of the House of Alba, built in Carrara marble. In the same square is the Monastery of San Ignacio Mártir, the “Convento Chico”, a 17th-century Carmelite convent of Baroque architecture famous for the artisanal jams made by the nuns. A good example of a Renaissance construction is the 16th-century church of the Assumption. The Plaza de la Villa is the meeting point and social centre of Loeches. Surrounding it is the historic centre, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, with cobbled streets and traditional houses. The Tourist Office is located in the Monastery of the Immaculate Conception, which offers a guide service, tourist information and is the starting point for hiking routes.

a beautiful area to clear your mind, and teach nature

I don't have photos but I love this area of those lagoons, there are several shelters for cyclists or bikepacking

The area next to the Velilla lagoons presents the double attraction of beautiful nature, with numerous bird fauna and a very fun route of trails parallel to the Jarama

This monastery, a historical-artistic jewel of Madrid's baroque, was founded in 1640 by the valid of King Philip IV, that is, the count-duke of Olivares. Its location in a country setting, on the outskirts of Alcobendas, north of Madrid, makes it even more special, with the Sierra de Guadarrama as a backdrop.
