  • Navacerrada, wonderfull mountains , just outside Madrid, where you can just walk, do skying ....

    I had gone twice, but a long time ago lol, to do hiking. On my first time I trusted in my guide (well I was supposed to lol after so long toguether) and we got lost, finally we found the train line and got safety to where we left the car.

    I have gone always by car, but I imagine you an get there with bus or train.

    For hiking is a good place if you know the itinerries or you go with a proper guide, Read previous tip to know why i say it lol

  • Alcal? de Henares university is one of the most important monuments to see, was founded by Cardinal Cisneros, under the reign of Isabelle la Cat?lica.

    he main sites to visit in Alcal? de Henares are the old university with its famous renaissance fa?ade and the buildings of the old Colegios Mayores.

    Alcal? de Henares can be reached by the Cercan?as trains on lines C2 and C7

    Buses leave from Continental Auto.

    To get there by car one should take the N-II

  • Just one hour north-west of Madrid by bus or train.

    The palace was designed between 1562 and 1584 by Renaissance master-architect Juan de Herrera, on the orders of Felipe II, who died there in 1598.

    It includes a basilica, Felipe II's palace, the royal mausoleum, several art collections, a library and a museum

  • Madrid Town Hall organises a few walking tours around the centre of Madrid.

    For information and tickets go to the Tourist Office at Plaza mayor (where tour starts)

    I do not remeber the price but they were not very expensive

  • The Crystal Palace was built of glass and steel in 1887 for the Philipines Exhibition to show exotic plants.

    There are a few more buildings in the park, but just relax, and enjoy the walk
