About this experience

Discover the magic of Castile on a full-day getaway from Madrid to Patones de Arriba and Pedraza, two of the most charming medieval villages in Spain. This small group tour offers a closer, unhurried experience with an expert guide who brings historical context, local curiosities and gastronomic recommendations that do not appear in the guides. We visited Patones de Arriba, famous for its blackboard architecture and photogenic corners, and continued to Pedraza, a walled villa full of legends, charming squares and traditional taverns. It is an ideal choice for culture lovers, travelers seeking authenticity and those who want to enjoy the quietest Castile without worrying about routes or transportation. We ended the day returning to Madrid amid open landscapes and the unique atmosphere of the Castilian interior.

Detailed itinerary

We will leave Madrid for the Sierra Norte to reach Patones, a village nestled in the valley slope. Its location is special: it is right at the transition between the Sierra de Guadarrama and the vega of the Jarama River, a natural crossroads of mountains and rivers that mark the character of the landscape.

We will visit the villa of Patones de Arriba, a unique enclave in the mountains of Madrid, famous for its black stone architecture.

Road trip between summits and forests, crossing the Sierra de Guadarrama through a mountain port.

A medieval village almost intact, with stone houses, legends on every street and a spectacular castle. It was formerly a prison, and today it is one of the most unique jewels of Castile and León.
