Villanueva de la Cañada

Town

Villanueva de la Cañada is a municipality in the Community of Madrid, Spain. Located 30 km north-west from Madrid, the municipality covers an area of 34.92 km2. Geographically, it sits on a large plain, in which there are several promontories, on one of which is found the castle of Aulencia, its main landmark. The ESA's European Space Astronomy Centre lies close to the former, on the Guadarrama riverfront. Villafranca del Castillo, a well-off urban area detached from the main nucleus, is located within the municipal bounds. Villanueva de la Cañada hosts the main campus of the Alfonso X El Sabio University as well as the Aquópolis waterpark.

The local larder

What almost never fails in a village like Villanueva de la Cañada.

Pan de pueblo

From a wood-fired oven if you're lucky; ask what time the batch comes out.

Queso de pastor

There's almost always a cheesemaker nearby; the local shop will know which one.

Miel de la sierra

From local beekeepers: wildflower or rosemary, depending on the hills.

Markets and local produce

Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.

We haven't confirmed Villanueva de la Cañada's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
