A small town near Madrid that is worth visiting to stroll through its streets and enjoy its typical cuisine. Its main attraction is its Plaza Mayor, an example of the architecture of Castilian porticoed squares - with 234 balconies - and where most of the restaurants are concentrated. But it is worth strolling through its streets, going up to see the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, where we can see Goya's painting "The Assumption of the Virgin". In addition, in front of the church there is a viewing point from which there are excellent views of the Plaza Mayor and the entire town. There is also the Clock Tower and the Lope de Vega Theatre, all just a few metres away. Other places of interest are the Parador de Chinchón, a former Augustinian convent; the Castle of the Counts of Chinchón, the Casa de la Cadena, the hermitages of San Antón and San Roque.

As an inhabitant, Chinchón is a charming town that is visited by many tourists during the weekends. On sunny days it is practically impossible to find a place on the terraces that surround the Plaza Mayor. But during the weekdays and especially in winter it seems like a ghost town that finally belongs to its inhabitants. Thanks to this, the hospitality industry can survive. The patron saint festivals are in August (12-16).

The Plaza Mayor in Colmenar de Oreja is one of the most emblematic squares in the Community of Madrid. Its construction began in the 16th century and lasted for more than 100 years. Designed by the architect Juan Bautista de Toledo, a disciple of Michelangelo, the square is a magnificent example of Castilian civil architecture. The square stands out for its porticoed design and its ingenious integration of two neighbourhoods separated by a stream. It also houses historic buildings such as the Town Hall and the Pósito.

It is an impeccable representation of a Castilian porticoed square, with arcades, stone and wooden columns and traditional facades. The current construction was carried out between the 17th and 18th centuries. The main buildings are the Town Hall and El Pósito. At the exit of the square is the Stone Museum.
