Cercedilla

Located at 1118 meters elevation, Cercedilla extends across 40 square kilometers within the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, 56 kilometers from Madrid.

The settlement gained importance during Roman times as a rest stop along the Fuenfría Pass, featuring three Roman bridges that remain standing in the valley.

The Luis Rosales Cultural Center maintains a permanent collection of artifacts from the poet who resided in the area and organizes regular exhibitions.

The municipality connects to Madrid through regional trains and provides numerous trails for hiking, making it accessible for both day trips and extended stays.

The local Ski Museum documents the region's winter sports heritage since 1903, including memorabilia from Olympic athletes who trained in these mountains.
