Discovering inland Spain

Activities in nature

It is easy to enjoy nature in an environmentally friendly way. We want to help you to do it with outdoor activities in nature areas in inland regions in Spain. In the rivers, valleys, lakes and mountains you will find proposals for everyone, all year round. How about riding in a hot-air balloon, practising canyoning, rafting, taking a ride in a 4x4 or going on a zip line?

Map Madrid Region

Madrid

Put on your trainers and come and discover the countryside in Madrid on its trails.

You can go on these routes on your own, but you will find detailed maps and recommendations on where to eat and sleep. Most of them do not present any difficulties, and in some cases you can go on your bike.

You'll discover lesser-known landscapes in the Madrid Region such as the Canencia ecological route, Fuenfría valleys or Paular and the countryside surrounding El Escorial .

Practical tips

  • Respect the natural environment so that everyone will be able to enjoy it.

  • Do not enter unknown areas, always tell your family or a friend where you are going and take a mobile phone with charged up battery. In any case, we recommend asking a professional for help.

  • Take a map of the area with you.

  • Always check the weather forecast before your trip so you can be prepared.
