Rural tourism in Sierra Norte de Madrid

Overview

The Sierra Norte region in Madrid is focusing on the promotion of rural tourism and the preservation of its natural and cultural heritage.

Initial efforts involve digital projects funded by NextGenerationEU to increase regional visibility and encourage year-round visitation. In Valdemanco, initiatives target both natural granite formations and the maintenance of local crafts through the ‘Taller de las Tradiciones’, which supports woodworking, basketry, and artisanal food production.

Regional tourism also highlights specific natural landmarks, such as the Hayedo de Montejo beech forest, a site of national interest known for its seasonal color changes. Cultural sites, including the 16th-century Church of Santa Marina Virgen y Mártir in Alameda del Valle and the Pinilla Reservoir, serve as key attractions within the Sierra del Rincón Biosphere Reserve area.
