Hiking

Icon of the city of Torrelodones and appreciated by many when passing through the A-6 motorway. The current tower is a restoration, while very little remains of the original. The construction dates back to the 10th century when the area was under the command of the Caliphate of Cordoba and after being abandoned for centuries, it was rebuilt in 1930.

The Lodones tower is one of the best preserved Arab watchtowers in the Community of Madrid. It was probably built between the 10th and 11th centuries during the Umayyad period. Although its current state is the product of conservation actions.
