This town of just over 100 inhabitants owes its name to the number of oaks and cistus that populate the area. Within its municipal term is the unpopulated area of El Villar (from which one of the Lozoya reservoirs takes its name). However, currently nothing remains of this place.

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.

A very well preserved dam, it is currently the oldest working dam in the entire region. The views down from the bridge across it or up the stairs from the top are amazing. It is very worth it. Just down the road is a lovely picnic spot with benches under the pine trees.

This reservoir is the oldest (still in operation) in the Community of Madrid. Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1873, with a design that was innovative for its time. Later, a canal was created that brings water directly to the city of Madrid from this reservoir.
