In the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, at the gates of La Pedriza, stands the Castle of Manzanares El Real, the best preserved castle in the region of Madrid. Located in a place steeped in history, heritage and culture, it was declared a historic-artistic monument in 1931.
The history of this castle dates back to the Reconquest, when the area was in conflict and the lords of Segovia and Madrid fought. After the mediation of Alfonso X, it passed into the hands of the Crown and was called "El Real de Manzanares".
