The Lozoya Valley’s Village Association is one of the most special niches in Madrid’s North Mountain Range (Sierra Norte). Grouped around the Lozoya river are the villages of Rascafría, Oteruelo del Valle, Alameda del Valle, Pinilla del Valle, Lozoya, Garganta de los Montes and El Cuadrón. The Village Association can be reached by taking the M-604 road, which crosses this Guadarrama area and follows the Lozoya river. It can be accessed from the A-1 by taking the exit at kilometre 69 or from La Coruña motorway (A-6) and along the Navacerrada and Los Cotos mountain passes. Another way to access the area and a very picturesque one, but more arduous, is via the mountain roads M-611 (Miraflores – Rascafría, along the Morcuera Mountain Pass, the M-629 (Miraflores – Canencia, along the Canencia Mountain Pass) and the M-637 (Navafría, in Segovia – Lozoya, along the Navafría Mountain Pass). There is only one Renfe-Cercanías train station and that is at Los Cotos’ Mountain Pass.
This guide proposes a series of walks around the villages which compose the Village Association to discover how beautiful its streets are, get to know its people and enjoy the large and varied tourist services. There are seven urban walks which go through the most beautiful spots in the town centres and also guide us to the most interesting architectural elements. They are walks for leisurely strolling around and surprise us with some of the most charming scenes found in these plain mountain villages.
Apart from this, there is also a unique range of tourist services composed of more than 20 rural accommodations, hotels and guest houses along with almost 60 restaurants, bars and pubs. Other attractions which make a visit to Lozoya Valley’s Village Association unforgettable include craftsmen, artists and companies offering leisure activities for tourists.
Lozoya Valley’s Village Association
El Cuadrón, the gateway to the Lozoya Valley’s Village Association, is perhaps the smallest village of those composing the former. However, it is doubtlessly one which best preserves the essence of the mountain villages. Its streets evoke stories from past eras where time seems to stand still. The walk starts at the village entrance, next to the Old School building 1 which at present houses El Cuadron’s Tourist Information Centre and also the Environmental Education Centre.
The Tourist Information Centre provides exhibitions and information about the Village Association’s natural and cultural heritage. It distributes numerous leaflets which show the Valley’s varied selection of accommodation, restaurants and activities.
As well as giving information about self guided walks through the Valley, the Environmental Education Centre also sets up different environmental education programmes, works with the local community to find solutions to local environmental issues and works with educational groups to train teachers.

2 The walk goes along the street Calle Manuel Fernández Pozo and takes us near the village. At its start, next to the main road, we can find the first of El Cuadrón’s fountains and some information panels which invite you to get to know its mountains and tracks.
The first houses, most recently built, shelter others which are older and reflect the way of life in previous times. With the passing of time, El Cuadrón has known how to preserve its traditional style, where the buildings for cattle and work on the land intermingle with houses. This forms a village which entices you to discover it. Amongst barns and houses conceived for a way of life linked to the countryside, others emerge, not as numerous, which are bigger in size and better quality as regards materials and construction techniques and are only for residential use.

A large part of El Cuadrón’s charm is due to the landscape formed by its houses 3 Many still have the farmyard and maintain its original structure. There are rectangular shaped houses, normally one floor, built in stone and wood and with the kitchen as the largest and most important part of the house. Its windows are few and small due to the harsh climate. The are usually built in irregular shaped blocks, joined by alleyways. Sometimes the barns and cattle premises are joined together
4 The walk takes us to the square Plaza del Pilar, where Our Lady of Pilar Church stands. In 1925, Mrs. Asunción Ternero, neighbour and teacher in El Cuadrón, took the initiative and proposed building a church. It didn’t become a Parish church until 1953. It is a small temple in a simple but charming style
and has become one of El Cuadron’s most emblematic elements.

In the square Plaza del Pilar we take the street Calle de la Reina, which begins on our left. 5 Here we can see some of the best preserved barns and cattle premises in all the Village Association. They are built with wooden structures and walls in rubblework reinforced on the corners with large pieces. The farmyards are small constructions used for rearing cattle with very little or no opening, except for the door, which is also small.
A little further ahead we find the Doctor’s Surgery, of daring architecture and the Viewpoint – “Contemplate the Valley” Sculpture 6 . One of the most special nooks, nice for resting and contemplating the Valley’s beauty which opens out before us. The Riosequillo reservoir and the Carpetan Mountains with the Somosierra Pass in the background, form a unique landscape, influenced by the century long tradition of sheep and cattle farming seen in its fields, meadows and cattle grazing tracks used by the cattle.

The Cobos track, which takes us away from the village, leads to the sports facilities and children’s playground. The way back is along the street Calle Manuel Fernández del Pozo where we can see some of the sinks and the Ironwork Stanchion 7 . This is one of the largest and best preserved in the Valley. It is no longer in usenow, however, up till no long ago, it was used to hold cows and horses and other types of cattle whilst being shoed or given medical treatment.
We leave the stanchion behind and take the Callejón Relaños and the street Justo Velasco de la Peña in order to round the outside of El Cuadrón. Amongst some recently built houses and barns we arrive at the sculpture “Boca de Mina” 8 . This is one of the few elements in memory of the small mine belonging to this town centre. This cadmiferous blende mine was in use from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth.

Garganta de los Montes is one of the mountain villages with a lot of charm. It entices you to leisurely stroll round its streets. The passing of time has formed a village which preserves the mountain villages’ style. Its cobbled streets form a network of alleys and small squares which reveal niches full of tranquillity and beauty. Moreover, it’s a place where you can enjoy a good and varied selection of accommodation and restaurants.
The village’s origins were greatly influenced by cattle farming. More modern houses intermingle with haylofts, courtyards and buildings conceived for work on the land and cattle farming.
The walk starts opposite the square Plaza del Pocillo 1 , a solitary square with remains of an old fountain. Here you can also find the library, CAPI (municipal cyber centre) and the Council House which form Garganta’s cultural centre. It has been given several awards for its original architectural proposal to fuse the old Town Hall with a new modern building. You can also see some barns and typical houses from other eras.

2 On the other side of the street Calle San Isidro, is the new Doctor’s Surgery and its daring architecture which combines stone, metal and glass. It has doubtlessly become one of Garganta’s most prominent architectural elements.
A few metres on, in the square Plaza de Nuestra Señora de los Prados, stands the new Town Hall 3 . Here are some of the largest and best kept houses which were built in the nineteenth or beginning of the twentieth century.
These buildings stand out amongst the other more austere buildings belonging to the more traditional architecture. This is due to their size and quality of materials and their construction, carried out by craftsmen. These houses on the main streets and squares belonged to Garganta’s wealthiest families.
Doctor’s surgeryPlaza Nª Sra. Prados
However, there’s no doubt that the most prominent element is Garganta’s Saint Peter’s Church 4 , built in the fifteenth and sixteenth century. Its high bell tower stands out amongst the roof tiles, visible from almost any part of the village. Its strong walls have witnessed Garganta’s history. It has two naves separated by semicircular arches. Next to the main altar is the vestry and then the atrium used as an entrance. It is Byzantine in style, however some elements are romanic and gothic. Some baroque additions from the seventeenth and eighteenth century can also be found.
Next to the church entrance is the Altarera, work of the sculpture artist Pilar Cuenca, a memorial to the women of Garganta who have shown love and dedication to their village. Year after year, for many generations, at Corpus Christi, the women cover the streets of Garganta with flowers and dress the altar in the finest handmade textiles.

We then go up the streets Calle Mayor and Las Cruces to reach the highest part of the village. Along these streets you can see some of the village’s most unique elements such as the statue commemorating the Cock (monumento al Gallo) 5 . This animal forms part of the village’s Coat of Arms
and reminds us of the importance and wealth of poultry in previous eras. A little further ahead, we can see the fountain and the sink in the streets Calle Colmenar 6 , las Cruces 7 and the Council Farmyard 8 , a circular construction used for keeping and handling the cattle.
As we go up this slope, we should stop to take a breath and admire the view. A mosaic made of roofs, above which stands out the church tower, forming a unique scene. Hills, fields and meadows form a mountain landscape with the imposing Carpetan Mountains in the background.

At the end of the street Calle Cruces we fall upon the track to Valdemanco. Here we can turn right and take the other way which leads to the children’s playground and the municipal swimming pool. Turn left, if you prefer the main way through the town centre which leads to the Reina Sofia square 9 .
It’s downhill from here, we pass by the square Plaza de Juan Carlos I, the streets Calle Vereda de las Eras, Calle Prim, Castillejos and Generalísimo, amongst others. In these streets we can contemplate some of Gargant’s most interesting and best kept barns, farmyards and houses. These streets remind us of the times when cattle farming and work on the land marked the passing of time.
A symbol of such times is the Potro de Herrar (ironwork stanchion) 10 , impressive in size and good condition. It is situated in the square Plaza de San Pedro and, up till a relatively short time was a fundamental part of village life for holding horses and cows whilst being shoed or given medical treatment. We are near the end of our walk, not far from where it began, though there are more corners and streets waiting to be discovered.

Our walk around Lozoya is an opportunity to discover a village with a long history which conveys the serenity and peace of the mountain villages. This walk takes us through some of its quiet streets and squares and we can see some of its most unique elements. We can also walk by the reservoir on Lozoya’s doorstep and enjoy the vast views and nooks which appear before our eyes.
The walk begins and ends in the main square Plaza Mayor, next to the Town Hall 1 . It was built in 1698 in rubblework and with reinforced ashlar corners. The doors and windows have one piece limestone lintels. The façade stands out with its overhanging balcony, coat of arms, roof garret and clock. It was destroyed during the Civil War and restored between 1941 and 1945.

In the Plaza Mayor we can see the first of the fountains which will accompany us on this walk. It’s next to the wall of one of Lozoya’s most unique buildings, the Old Convent 2 .
We take the street Calle del Salvador which goes along the wall. Although the present state of the Old Convent is not good, it was one of the most important houses in the village and the family residence of the noblemen of the town. It was built in the sixteenth century and rebuilt in the eighteenth. Years later it was donated to a religious order until alienations took place in the nineteenth century. The estate is surrounded by a high wall with two entrances: one on Calle Salvador 3 , probably from the seventeenth century, and the other on Calle Juan Martín, the last vestige of the original palace built in the sixteenth century.

When we reach the street Calle Luna, we turn right and a little further on we take the Travesía Luna, then Calle Cercona and Calle del Toril. These streets take us to the outskirts of the village where there are more and more haylofts and other premises linked to work on the land and cattle farming 4 . Today a lot of these haylofts and yards have been altered and changed into houses, restaurants or warehouses, etc.
When we reach the playground in the street Calle Toril, we go out of the town centre for a moment to enjoy the walk along the shores of the reservoir. We carefully cross the main road and reach the cemetery and reservoir 5 . The view before us is simply unique. Before coming back to Lozoya, we pass by a small leisure and picnic area where we can enjoy the view and have a rest 6 .

We come back into Lozoya along the path which runs parallel to the Navarejo stream, its noise makes our walk even more pleasant under the shade of the old trees. On the other side of the road we can see the school and the Old Convent wall 7 . We continue along the Avenida de Lozoya, which is part of the M-604 and then cross over the stream a little further ahead. We will then cross over the main road again and go up the street Calle Cuatro Calles.
The Regional Employment Office is situated here 8 , a multiuse space with rooms and classrooms which offer different activities and services. You can also find municipal rural accommodation here.

It was rebuilt and the plateresque Toledan style limestone façade and renaissance vestry window were salvaged.

Pinilla del Valle is one of the most attractive villages in the Lozoya Valley. Its criss-cross streets and squares form irregular blocks of houses and haylofts alongside vegetable gardens and farmyards. The town centre has an irrigation network which runs parallel to the streets for watering the vegetable gardens, a pleasant sound which accompanies us on our walk. Although many of the vegetable gardens are no longer in use, the ones that are, along with the irrigation channels which are still preserved, are sufficient to give us an idea of how little this village has changed during the last few centuries.
The walk around Pinilla Del Valle starts and finishes at the same place, next to the old forge 1 . This building is now used as a Civic Centre
where different activities and workshops take place. A simple stanchion for handling cows and horses reminds us of how important cattle farming was until relatively recently.

We go down the street Calle de la Cruz towards the town centre and pass by some of Pinilla’s largest haylofts. We can see two fountains which were used by the cattle for drinking until relatively recently. These fountains are on the streets Calle de la Cruz 2 and Calle de los Cántaros 3 . Next to the latter
we can see the square Plaza de la Constitución 4 where there are typical houses from the end of the nineteenth century and first thirty years of the twentieth. This was a time of change when more urban houses started to appear and the house was separated from the premises used for work on the land and cattle farming. These buildings, normally two floors high with a loft, have balconies on the first floor and facades with brick or stonework round the doors and windows.

Saint Michael’s Church Town Hall
The proposed walk continues along the street Calle de la Alegría towards Saint Michael’s Church, Pinilla’s most prominent architectural element 5 . It dates back to the beginning of the sixteenth century. However, additional work in the eighteenth century and considerable restoration in the 1940s were also carried out. Its rectangular three span floor, plus the vestry and the tower, were constructed on rubblework walls. The façade with its atrium is gothic and has a double arch with two coats of arms and a sculpture of Saint Michael Archangel. The stoup dates back to the sixteenth century. A track can be taken from here towards the municipal car park, going round the outskirts along the Travesía de la Iglesia.
If we take the street Calle del Real, we reach the square Plaza del Gobernador, with the Town Hall at its entrance 6 . This building, with its bell tower and clock, was built in 1949 according to the neopopular style of that era.

Reservoir ViewpointWe continue along the streets Calles y Travesías de los Artistas and de la Iglesia and mingle along Pinilla’s alleys and discover its most peaceful nooks. We pass by the Parque Sur (South Park) with its Biohealthy circuit where we can stretch some forgotten muscles…. A little further on we can go through a gate and take the road to the Mirador del Embalse (Reservoir Viewpoint), where we can enjoy a view which is difficult to forget 7 . The street Calle de la Presa goes round the village along the reservoir shores and this pleasant stroll leads us to the Sun Dial and guide 8 which we can use to get to know the names of the mountains surrounding us. These elements were erected to commemorate seven hundred years since Pinilla was founded. A little further on we can take the track which crosses over the reservoir and, after going past the restaurant Terraza de la Cañada, we reach Pinilla’s Archaeological Site, 1.5 kilometres away.

Haylofts
After going past the parks La Presa and El Río Chico, we go up the Avenida del Río. Along this Avenue we pass by several very well kept haylofts, originally built in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. They are built with rubblework walls, wooden structures and curved roof tiles. The larger ones with big doors were used as stables and haylofts. The lack of windows proves how harsh the winters were.
A little further on, after passing the park Los Nogales, we reach the Carlos Ruiz school premises 9 , built in 1947 according to the style characteristic of buildings of this era. At present the premises are shared by the nursery and school.
If we take the street Calle del Estajadero, we reach the Old Forge and the end of the walk proposed in this guide which has taken us to some of Pinilla del Valle’s nooks. It’s a village which is worth getting to know in detail with its walk for strolling about through its alleys and small squares.

Traditional houses
Alameda del Valle is a village with a long tradition in cattle and crop farming. It still preserves its rural air and the essence of the mountain villages in its streets. Fields, vegetable gardens and orchards surround its town centre with its irregular urban weave, where houses stand alongside haylofts and large vegetable gardens with their own irrigation system. Its streets and alleys, marked out with fences and stone walls, are like a complex lattice: they
go into squares and small squares and are ideal for strolling and resting in.
The walk starts and finishes in the village centre, in the square Plaza de Santa María. Here are some of Alameda’s oldest houses, built in stone, with plain facades and small winters for enduring the harsh winters. We can also see the Town Hall 1 , built in the twentieth century. It is worth mentioning its porch on the ground

floor, its two balconies and its higher streamlined central part with a clock and bell. The bell is attached to a curious iron structure.
The street Calle de la Iglesia takes us to Saint Marina’s Church 2 . It was built in the sixteenth century and modified in the eighteenth. It has a rectangular
three span floor with a twin tower and ancient entrance. Above the entrance there’s an ashlar window with the inscription “Year 1738”. It is surrounded by an irregular wall with pilasters crowned with Herrera style iron balls. Next to the Church there’s a garden with a fountain, ideal for resting and enjoying the fields and mountains surrounding us.

Along the street Calle Romero we reach the lovely sculpture by Pilar Cuenca, The Country Man Memorial 3 , dressed in the traditional way with a blanket on his shoulder, a stick, cap and leather shoes. At his feet, a poem by Vicente Aleixandre which gives tribute to the country man.
Along this street and the street Calle de las Cercas we can see amidst the fields and orchards some of the haylofts and traditional houses which are so characteristic of these mountain villages, where the urban area was shared amongst houses and premises for cattle farming and work on the land. Sometimes the house and hayloft have an interior connecting door, although it has another entrance from outside. A lot of these buildings have curved tile roofs, reminiscent of Segovian style construction, where the roof top has a small triangular tile for channelling the rain water to the street. At the end of this street, the fountain Las Cercas 4 is the point where we turn left to go along the street Calle del Río.

This street runs parallel to the Saúca stream, shaded by old poplars, ash trees and others. This is one of the most charming parts of our walk. We go round the town centre along this wide street which comes out at a children’s playground with slides, tables and a fountain 5 .
A little further on, almost a the top of the village, we can see the track which crosses the river by a small bridge and goes to the park La Calera 6 . This is one of the most tranquil and charming spots in Alameda where you can here a multitude of small birds singing. A curious fountain with small sinks forming a waterfall and some unique tables make an ideal place to take a breath and enjoy this peaceful moment.

Oteruelo is one of the smallest villages in the Valley and became part of Rascafría in 1975. The walk goes round practically all the village. The town centre remains unchanged, influenced by cattle farming. Houses are dotted about here and there and stand alongside farm buildings (haylofts and stables) and stone walled vegetable gardens. It is therefore a nice village for walking round.
The proposed walk starts at the Old School. This building is from the 1940s. Large scale renovation was carried out some years ago to convert it into the National Reserve’s Office 1 and Luis Feito Room 2 . The Office is a meeting point for neighbours from Rascafría and Oteruelo with its Regional Environment Ministry and Town Planning for administrative procedures, permits and petitions, etc.

However, the Luis Feito Room is doubtlessly the most significant part, and probably of the whole village, due to its importance as a tourist attraction. This is a permanent exhibition room and has a small sample of the work by this important painter which was donated to Oteruelo’s people, where his mother was born.
Avenida de las Eras takes us to the square Plaza del Valle 3 , shaded and with its fountain and memorial which commemorates Oteruelo belonging to the “Sexmo de Lozoya”, a community of villages which joined forces to defend their rights and carry out public works and communal projects, under Segovia. Here we can find some of the haylofts standing in a row which are dotted about Oteruelo. Their perimeter walls are dry stone rubblework with interior wood lattice work and Arab tiled roofs.

Calle Real Stanchion Sink
On our way to the Plaza de la Fragua we can see some of the houses which were built at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth, with a more urban air. There are no haylofts here no premises for cattle farming. These are usually one family houses with two floors and an Arab tiled roof. Its doors, windows and balconies are set in brick or stone. They can be detached with a small garden at the front or built in rows in the style of town houses.
A little further on is the square Plaza de la Fragua 4 , its Iron Stanchion stands out, for centuries an important part of Oteruelo’s daily life. It was used to shoe the cattle and give them medical treatment. Next to the Stanchion is a small fountain which supplies water to a series of sinks forming a waterfall which, until recently, were used as a drinking trough for cattle.
A few metres away is the track Camino del Egido 5 , which joins Oteruelo and Rascafría and is an easy and pleasant scarcely two kilometre walk surrounded by fields and ash trees.

We take the street Calle Jarama which leads us to the outskirts of Oteruelo with vegetable gardens, fields and orchards, which make our walk even more attractive. Before leaving behind the town centre, we go left and up the street Calle del Río towards the village centre.
A little further on we reach the square Plaza de la Paz 6 , which joins the street Calle Corralones 7 , a small street with some haylofts renovated as houses and the remains of another stanchion.
On our way back to the Plaza de la Paz we can see Oteruelo’s most outstanding architectural element the belfry to Our Lady of Peace Church 8 .

This Church had to be totally rebuilt after the Civil War. Its shape and original floor were completely changed. Fortunately, the belfry remained standing and dates back to the twelth century. It is without doubt the most unique element in Oteruelo and the village’s and its people’s identity symbol. It has two parts, the lower in rubblework giving stability to the building and the higher part built in ashlar with three gaps and three semi-circular arches for the bells.
Next to the Church we can see the Priest’s House 9 , a large building. It’s worth mentioning its façade with brickwork round the doors and windows and the interior woodwork, carried out by a craftsman from Oteruelo.
At the end of the street Calle Real is the Old Butcher’s 10 , now a multi-use municipal hall. If we go along the street Calle del Nevero, we come back to the start of our walk.

Haylofts The Old Butcher’s
Rascafría is the largest village amongst those composing Lozoya Valley’s Village Association, situated at the head of the Valley and has the most tourist and accommodation services. For centuries it hardly changed. The way of life was closely linked to the area’s natural resources, of which the Paular Monastery owned nearly all the rights. However, in the mid-twentieth century the largest transformation began. Traditional activities were abandoned and Rascafría became a holiday and leisure destination. Since then, Rascafría knows how to combine the essence of mountain areas, steeped in culture and history,
with a varied range of tourist attractions which make this Town a unique spot.
The proposed walk starts and ends at the Tourist Information Office 1 , where we can obtain more information about Rascafría and what it has to offer us to enjoy during our visit in this unique area.

El Pilón Bridge over the Artiñuelo
The first part of the walk goes round the Old Cemetery and the Doctor’s Surgery along the following streets: Calle San Sebastián and Calle Rivera del Artiñuelo, leaving behind us the Cascajales quarter. We then go past the Pilón (sink) 2 , a historical fountain also used as a drinking trough.
We then go up to the centre of the village along the path which runs by the Artiñuelo stream, which we cross using the footbridge. 3 It’s worth stopping here to enjoy the sound of the water and shade of the old trees. If we take the Avenida del Paular, one of Rascafría’s main streets, we reach the square, Plaza de España.

The squares Plaza de España 4 and Plaza de la Villa 5 join to form and open space where Rascafría’s
people meet and play. Here we can find some of Rascafría’s oldest and most interesting houses.
The Town Hall 6 is the most prominent element in the square. Its brickwork forms attractive designs. It was built at the beginning of the twentieth century and, amongst other uses, had a medical centre and the children’s school. A little further up is the Casa de Postas 7 . It’s one of the oldest houses still maintaining the mountain style of construction. Built in 1726, with thick, rough, whitewashed stone walls, it was the town council inn, whose landlord monopolised accommodation in the Town.

St. Andrew’s Church
If we take the street Calle de los Reyes we reach St. Andrew’s Church 8 . It was built in stone in the fifteenth century. Major alterations were carried out in the sixteenth century and two additional naves were added to the original one. The plain looking façade is in granite with a divided pediment on two pillars. It also has a twin tower, more than 20 metres high which is separated by a cornice. A small wall decorated with Herrera style balls and a fountain give it its finishing touches. Behind the church, in the square Plaza Trastámara, we can see La Casona 9 , a listed building from the sixteenth century which is set in a large plot with a garden and vegetable patch. The entrance has a large gate, above which rests a tiled roof and a curious wooden structure. Underneath this structure there still remains the coat of arms with two lions and two castles on it.

Pericotón bridge Artiñuelo River
After going round the Church, we take the street Calle de la Amargura. This leads us once again to the Artiñuelo stream. We cross over the stream using the Jaramilla bridge and follow its course along the recently reconstructed street Calle Arroyo Artiñuelo. From the Pericotón bridge 10 , we can go up to the Costana quarter. From here we can enjoy spectacular views of the head of the Lozoya Valley with the Paular Monastery and the Peñalara National Reserve in the background 11 . This is a unique scene which has been preserved for many generations by Rascafría’s people’s daily work. If, on the other hand, we decide to go back to the town centre, take the street Calle Ibañez Marin or the Avenida del Paular and mingle in Rascafría’s streets.
If we go down the hill Cuesta del Chorro, we will be back at the starting point of our walk, at the Tourist Information Office. You can reach it by crossing the Cuesta del Chorro Park.
