Nature and mountains

El valle alto del Lozoya con el monasterio de El Paular y Peñalara como telón de fondo, a 1h 20min de Madrid. Colegio público, consultorio y piscinas naturales en verano; en invierno cae nieve de verdad.

When to come

There are no events in Rascafría's calendar yet, so any month works. Ask us about the local festivals: almost every village has one.

  • Spring

    Thaw and green fields. Some mountain access can stay tricky until May.

  • Summer

    Long days and cool nights. The best time for hikes.

  • Autumn

    Forests at their best and far fewer people.

  • Winter

    Serious winter at this altitude: snow likely and chains in the car. Check the state of the roads before heading up.
