Tour description

  • TOUR OF THE MEDIEVAL WALLED TOWN OF BUITRAGO DEL LOZOYA.



A trip to the past surrounded by walls and mountains.


Just an hour from Madrid, nestled among the green valleys of the Sierra Norte, lies Buitrago del Lozoya, one of the most spectacular medieval villages in the Community of Madrid. Almost completely surrounded by the Lozoya River and protected by an impressive 11th-century wall, Buitrago is a living history.

Here, Gothic castles, cobblestone streets, legends of kings and warriors, and even a small museum dedicated to Pablo Picasso coexist. All of this is framed by a natural setting perfect for unwinding and discovering unique places.

Buitrago isn't just something you walk through, it's something you feel: its stones whisper stories, and every corner invites you to travel back in time.

Eugenio Arias' House.

I've been in love with the culture and history of Buitrago since I was a child. Tourism and culture are my passions, and I'm delighted to welcome you and show you my town and its lesser-known corners with the greatest enthusiasm.
