Colmenar de Oreja is situated in the south-eastern part of the Autonomous Region of Madrid, just 40 kilometres from the capital city. It offers culture, wine and gastronomy as well as the Ulpiano Checa Museum in memory of Madrid's distinguished 19th century painter who was born here.
It's time to visit one of the most surprising museums in the region, dedicated to one of the most sought-after painters of its time and today almost unknown.
The hearth of the town is formed by its Plaza Mayor (Major Square), built on a cliff between1676 and 1794, and the Church of Santa María la Mayor.
After a morning in the Middle Ages, it's time to eat. Walk along Calle Mayor in the shade of the arcades. It's time to eat and enjoy the specialty dishes offered in Colmenar which are as timeless as its monuments.
Is there still something left to see? The answer to this question is always "Yes".
A lively town with many events of all kinds all year round and for all types of audiences.
