Torrelodones, Municipality in northwestern Madrid region, Spain
Torrelodones sits between Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range and Madrid metropolitan area, featuring residential neighborhoods of Pueblo, Colonia, and Los Peñascales at 844 meters elevation.
The municipality evolved from a seventh-century settlement marked by a Muslim watchtower that protected the region during the Reconquista period of the Iberian Peninsula.
The municipality integrates into two regional tourist circuits of the Madrid Community: the Imperial Route and the Route through Castles, Fortresses and Watchtowers.
The town connects to Madrid through public transportation networks, making it suitable for residents who work in the capital while maintaining a suburban lifestyle.
The territory bridges two protected natural areas, Sierra de Hoyo and Monte del Pardo, supporting Mediterranean wildlife including Spanish imperial eagles and European hedgehogs.
