Highlight • Viewpoint

It is a good area for walking and playing sports and even cycling, there are areas that get a lot of sun and there are no sources nearby until Tres Cantos arrives.

The Royal Palace of El Pardo, originally a 15th-century hunting lodge, was renovated in the 16th century and modified by the architect Sabatini in the 18th century. It is best known for having been Francisco Franco's residence during the dictatorship.
Currently, the palace is the official residence for foreign heads of state visiting Spain and is open to the public as a museum. Its main attractions include the collection of tapestries based on Goya cartoons and its interior decoration.

El Pardo Square

Highlight • Settlement

Beyond the famous anecdote of the continuous theft of the plaque that gave its name to the Plaza "del Caudillo", the Plaza de El Pardo is known because the painter Francisco de Goya Lucientes lived there for many years, in the old house of Postas that was located in this square.
Today, in the place that this building used to occupy, there is a hotel establishment, called 'La Marquesita'.

Manzanares River

Highlight • River

The Manzanares River is unique in many parts of its route.
Undoubtedly, one of the most curious is the drain of the El Pardo reservoir, in which we see the Manzanares pass through tubes that impress up close.
