This is the best preserved castle in the community of Madrid. It is also known as the Mendoza castle because it was this family that built it to reinforce their dominance and influence in 15th-century Castile. Juan Guas, who was the architect of the Catholic Monarchs, participated in its construction.

Its wall testifies to its function as a fortress while its large interior rooms tell of the arrival of new times with less warriors and more palatial and social life. It currently has an interpretation center of the Middle Ages and it carries out outreach activities on this important period in Spain and other cultural activities.

A very nice reservoir. The sunsets and sunrises are spectacular, there are incredible views of Manzanares and its castle, and it is a good place to photograph birds.

Soto del Real Cycling Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Soto is one of the epicenters of cycling in the Sierra de Guadarrama. From here you can access many roads and tracks that lead to the mountain itself. Its leisure and restaurant offerings have made it the origin and end of long days by bike and beers and after-meals reminiscing about the adventure.
