    We have traveled a lot on rural tourism, but by chance I found this pearl of a house in Rascafría, the idyllic setting, well located, it has a small supermarket almost at the door. The house has three heights, but it is very well distributed and used to the maximum, that going from the ground floor with its almost pub, with table football and beer tap, a luxury.

    After a fabulous weekend in the low house of Olivo de Fresnedillas, what less than to leave a comment. Fantastic location, 3 minutes from the town center, but the rustic farm gives you independence, it seems that you are lost in the mountains, spectacular views, silence, tranquility. The vacation home is cute. If it looks cute in the photos, much better live, rustic, cozy, it has been cared for down to the last detail. Holiday cottages Madrid

They are comfortable, they are very clean and highly recommended to spend a few days off. They also prepare a basket with fruit and pastries for breakfast and gels in the welcome bathroom.

In an environment of peace and calm, Estrella Rural has several well-equipped rooms, as well as a spacious living room with kitchen, ideal for a business meeting and to enjoy free time. This room has a projector and wi-fi connection that facilitates work meetings, as well as a small kitchen with an iron and a cellar where different wines are offered to the guest.

Taste of autumn, the town smells of firewood. Beautiful, stone houses, beautiful walks and a spectacular color of leaves. The country houses are amazing, beautiful, everything super new and they do not lack detail. Holiday cottages Madrid

    We have spent a wonderful weekend in November with several friends. The house is very well equipped, very good mattresses and bed and bath linens. I would only complain about it, the refrigerator is a bit small for a group of 10 and I would put a glass of wine or a few more glasses. Well located in the town and without a single noise. Great to be able to have breakfast on the patio all together. They provided us with breakfast, very abundant and rich, although the only local ones were the buns, the rest, including cold cuts, from a normal store, are fine for the little they charge, but they were not local products as they said.

    This rural complex has several houses, all of them of great beauty in terms of decoration and construction and are ideal for spending a few days in the mountains. We were 7 people spending a weekend in January and we found it super warm despite the fact that through the windows we could see how it was snowing. Our holiday home had views of the living room from the bedroom, which we found very original. All cared for with love and details in the rooms and with a surprising quality for a rustic lodging.

    We return from living Easter we are a married couple with our young children (between 12 and 19 years old). We are all quite sporty and the area cannot be better for mountain biking routes or hiking in the Madrid mountains, which is a luxury that we have undervalued. Renting these wooden houses in the middle of the mountain seems to plunge you into a story. I recommend it. Holiday cottages Madrid

The treatment with the owners is very good and familiar and they are willing at all times to help you and give you advice to have a good stay in Cercedilla and surroundings. The Inn is very cozy, the rooms are very clean and pleasant, there is a small library and a dining room with a very cute fireplace, we had some pennyroyal next to the fireplace and at night we ate there, the variety on the menu is not very extensive, but after spending all day on the road and visiting things, and after taking a shower, I recommend having dinner at the inn, there are salads, hors d'oeuvres, sandwiches, toasts, and hamburgers.

    We have just returned from a relaxing weekend spent at Saika Rural. I don't usually go on the web to leave beliefs, out of laziness or because I forget, but this time it's completely worth it! We have stayed in the Enebro house and I can tell you that it is ideal, it has everything you need and, however, it is taken care of in the smallest details and very clean. What I have appreciated is the comfort and warmth: the sofa in the living room, the well-made bed with excellent bedspreads, the heating as well as the hot water (it comes out immediately and in many houses it takes a long time to come out and it is a nuisance), the detail of the embroidered canvases of the toilet paper holder or the box of tissues placed on the table at night.

Welcome to Madrid

What would you say if I told you that you don't need to go very far from the capital of Spain to see a different side of this autonomous community of Spain? Because the ideal place to enjoy of a rural break from the frenzy of daily life is closer than you think, and we can guarantee that you will be surprised by the natural richness and beautiful views that are just a drive away from the capital and which are ideal if you want to do rural tourism in Madrid.

In this region, we have some of the most beautiful and iconic natural reserves of Spain, such as the one in Peñalara, or the natural reserve that comprised the Valle de Lozoya and the Sierra de Guadarrama.

On the other hand, and far from the urban epicentre, this region is filled with places full of history and architecture, such as San Lorenzo del Escorial in the north, or the palace of Aranjuez to the south.

The amount of history and art that lives in these monuments has lead to the creation of a web of castles, museums and palaces which are mapped out easily for them to be discovered by visitors.

We are also describing part of the cultural heritage of this region when we talk about the local gastronomy. You will find in the menu of any traditional kitchen of this region, culture and tradition manifested in dishes such as the 'cocido madrileño' or the 'callos a la madrileña', without forgetting about having some Aranjuez strawberries, or melon from Villaconejos for dessert.

Don't waste another second and get yourself a break from life in the capital, without having to travel for hours and hours.

What to see in Madrid?

Madrid is, without question, one of the most visited provinces in Spain.

Where to sleep in Madrid

Where can you sleep?

If you're planning to travel to Madrid, the first thing you need to take into account are the dates you will be staying, and that you will need to find accommodation in advance. Staying in the capital will be an almost impossible quest if you don't do it in advance, and backed up with a very wide offer of quality tourist accommodation, with options such as hotels and hostels to choose from.

But what we really recommend is to stay in the outskirts of the cit, which are close enough to be able to spend the day in the capital and, at the same time, enjoy of the other more calm and comfortable side of Madrid.

We recommend doing tourism in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, and its monastery that you mustn't forget to visit; a true landmark of Madrid's identy. Another must is Alcalá de Henares, the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, and with its characteristic stone-paved streets, and landmark monuments.

Aranjuez and its Palacio Real, the main square and the air of tradition of Chinchón, or the castle and the Pedriza in Manzanares del Real, are some of the options for a perfect trip around the province.

If you would like to know about some other charming destinations, we have a few options for you.

If you would like to enjoy exploring the province some more, and discovering each of its hidden spots, we have some ideas for you to do in the city, where you can't miss checking out Gran Vía, one of the busiest spots in Madrid, or Puerta de Alcalá.

For the more romantic ones, we recommend seeing the sun set in Templo de Debod, or enjoy of a boat ride rowing in the waters of El Retiro when its warmer, are great options for a perfect day plan.

Other places where to discover are the three UNESCO world heritage sites that you can find in the province: the Monasterio and Real Sitio de San Lorenzo, in El Escorial; the Universidad de Alcalá, and the Paisaje Cultural de Aranjuez.

Patones de Arriba is one of the villages in the province where you can still find some examples of a traditional black slate architecture known as the Arquitectura Negra, and together with the impressive greenery that surrounds it, make this a visit that we recommend doing, even though it cannot be accessed by car. Amongst the natural spaces in the province, the mountains in Sierra de Guadarrama, and the Hayedo de Montejo are excellent choices to enjoy being close to nature, just like La Pedriza. You will see there's always something new to discover here.

What to eat in Madrid

What typical foods are recommended?

Who hasn't heard of Madrid's gastronomy? You won't be able to resist the flavours that this region can offer.

Traditionally, the gastronomical tradition in Madrid has always been associated with very filling and caloric recipes, and with vegetable produce. And if there's something that the local people of Madrid are experts at doing, that is adapting the recipes and dishes from the rest of Spain and preparing them Madrid-style: 'a la madrileña'.

One of the most popular dishes of the local gastronomy in Madrid is the 'cocido madrileño', a chunky stew elaborated with local products such as vegetables and beans, and meat such as 'chorizo' and 'morcilla'. Another classic here in Madrid are the 'calamares a la romana' (batter fried quis , very often served in bars and tabernas, which are then also used to prepare the so famous 'bocadillo de calamares', a whole institution here in the capital of Madrid.

And, of course, we cannot forget to mention 'tortilla de patatas' a classic that is neve missing in every kitchen here in Madrid. Another local delicacy here are pickled and preserved foods, which are a perfect option for a midday evening aperitif, together with a 'caña', or a glass of wine.

The regional festivity of the autonomous community is celebrated the 2nd of May, commemorating the uprising of Spain that to the Peninsula Wars of independence from the French dominance in 1808.

The Feria de San Isidro is one of the most popular ones, which has traditionally taken place in the Plaza de las Ventas, where bullfighting events are held. This is one of the occasions most widely celebrated amongst bullfighting lovers. Also, in this special date, the San Isidro meadows become crowded with people dressed in the traditional chulapa and chulapo costumes, dancing the traditional chotis, and eating 'rosquillas de vino' and churros.

If we move away from the capital, you can also find many singular festivities are also celebrated in Alcalá de Henares.
