Santillana Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

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.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The history and image of Manzanares El Real will always be linked to the Mendoza family and their unmistakable castle, one of the jewels, not only of Madrid's military architecture, but of all the medieval architecture of the kingdom of Castile.

San Isidro Hermitage

Highlight • Religious Site

The Hermitage of San Isidro is located on the slopes of El Boalo, very close to the town centre. It was built with local masonry by the local residents, reflecting the devotion of the inhabitants of El Boalo to San Isidro, patron saint of cattle breeders and farmers.

Every 15th of May, a pilgrimage is held in honour of San Isidro, where locals and visitors take part in a day in the countryside full of hospitality and festivities. The hermitage is located at the foot of Peña Mediodía and next to the ecological recreational area of the same name.

Singletracks in Mataelpino

Highlight • MTB Park

Area of narrow, twisty and fun paths between junipers and thyme rockroses. It does not have much difficulty, except for the little traction in times of drought. The combination of the mountain landscape and the driving challenge make it one of the most suitable low mountain areas for mountain biking.

Manzanares el Real Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.
