Located in the northside of the Region of Madrid, in the wonderful natural area of Valle del Lozoya (Valley of Lozoya), Rascafría is one of the most wonderful villages of the tour around the valley. The valley is whigth and cleared, and it is located to about 1100 meters of altitude, and it is perfect for nature lovers.
Rascafría stands out since its foundation due to the impressive Monasterio de Santa María del Paular (Monastery of Santa María del Paular). It seems to be located in the middle of the landscape, like it should have always been there, and it is perfectly integrated and mixed with the nature that surrounds it.
Going towards the town, we will stop by the Plaza de los Trastámaras (Square of the Trastámaras), which was built together with the Casona (Bis House). Did you know that this building was a Hospital or "Lazareto" first? This two-storey building with orchard and garden, became a stately home as it is nowadays.
By the presbitery of the Church of San Andrés there cultural and leisure shows are represented with theatre plays and shows.
