A basilica, the Sierra de Guadarrama nearby and a good place to sleep north of Madrid.

Where to stay in Colmenar Viejo: the best areas

Old town and basilica

Colmenar's old core is laid out around the basilica of La Asunción, whose granite tower is a landmark from every street. Here are the town hall, long-established bars and the Casa Museo de la Villa. Staying in this area lets you have dinner without the car and walk out to see the town in the morning.

It's also the liveliest part in February, when the La Vaquilla festival fills the streets: if your visit coincides with it, book well ahead.

By the Cercanías station

The C-4 Cercanías line links Colmenar Viejo with Madrid, and the station is on the edge of town. Staying nearby makes sense if you're using the town as a base for the capital without paying city prices, or if you arrive without a car.

Roads to the sierra and the M-607

The estates and business parks along the Madrid road have accommodation designed for those travelling by car, with easy parking. From here you're minutes from Manzanares el Real, La Pedriza and the trails of the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares Regional Park, which covers much of the municipality.
