Villas de Madrid is a group of eleven unique destinations that stand out for their cultural heritage. They are spread across different parts of Madrid, surrounded by landscapes as diverse as moors, countryside and alcarrias, foothills, hills and pastures, as well as the high mountain landscapes of Guadarrama and Somosierra. All have managed to maintain their rural authenticity, while offering a quality tourist infrastructure prepared to meet the needs of its visitors.
The region of Madrid is home to five sites included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, three of which are the urban enclaves of Alcalá de Henares, Aranjuez and San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Also included are the Hayedo de Montejo and the so-called "Landscape of Light", the enclave in the capital that includes such famous places as the Paseo del Prado or the Buen Retiro. We encourage you to discover them through attractive itineraries on foot or by bicycle, touring unique places that explain their belonging to this select group that holds the highest recognition of UNESCO in terms of cultural heritage.
The Jarama River starts as a natural border between Madrid and Guadalajara and enters the province of Guadalajara near the famous forest Hayedo de Montejo. It then returns to Madrid where it is joined by the Lozoya River, forming an extensive and fertile valley known as the Jarama Valley.

It is situated to the north of the municipality of the same name and to the east of Valdemanco, accessible via motorway A-1 (Madrid-Burgos) at kilometre 60.
