Castle of Buitrago

What travelers say:

The first weekend after the unblocking, Buitrago de Lozoya gave me the first time in 2021 to feel the joy of history and being close to nature. This is a hidden town in the north of Madrid. The most well-known town is the castle. The Buitrago castle was originally built by the Moors in the 11th century. This is one of the best preserved Moorish castles in Madrid. The stone, built castle reveals a strong historical and artistic flavor, and the hands are so rough but strong for so many years. The mind can't help but return to the time it was once. The castle is surrounded by water and surrounded by mountains. The first sight of climbing the castle in spring is the green hillside. There is also a Roman church in the castle, followed by a Roman church, but also due to the influence of the Moors, you can see a little Moorish "shadow" on the top of the church. Even if it is not a light and cloudy day, it is still attracted by the castle with a vicissitudes of history. Although it is a small town, there are still endless people who come to visit and stroll. Walking around the city wall and listening to improvised small concerts here in the square has made me feel extremely happy...Address: Buitrago de Lozoya, Madrid,Spain How to get there: 1h from the center of Madrid by car, Free parking is available at the entrance of the town.
