Robledo de Chavela

Travel Guide

Follow in the footsteps of King Felipe II on your holiday in Robledo de Chavela: history, nature and action, all just an hour from Madrid.

Robledo de Chavela, a town halfway between the mountain ranges of Guadarrama and Gredos, is part of what has been called the Imperial Route of the Community of Madrid, a tourist route that follows the path used by King Felipe II in the 15th century in his travels to the monastery of El Escorial. This is one of the main attractions of a town whose name presumably comes from the Latin word roburetum, in honour of the large number of oaks that inhabited the area in Roman times.

Check out our offer of cheap trips to Robledo de Chavela and make sure you don’t miss the Iglesia de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora, a church with an impressive example of Spanish Gothic style, built between the 15th and 16th centuries. This building, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, dominates the town from its highest point. Spend some time strolling through its streets and squares and admire the typical oak architecture at the Casa del Cura or the Town Hall.

With our package deals to Robledo de Chavela, you’ll be able to visit the visitors’ centre of the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex, a space centre partly run by NASA. If you'd rather get out of the city and lose yourself in the pine groves that surround the town, why not go hiking around Robledo? It offers easy beginner routes, suitable for all types of visitors.

On your trip to Robledo de Chavela, you can forget about having to drive for a few days, as it has both a local train station and a bus station. As it's so close to Madrid, your best bet is to first arrive at the capital (either by plane or high-speed train) and then travel to your destination with the extensive public transport network available. Of course, if you want to explore the main attractions of the region on your own, a rental car is a great idea. Discover the delights of all these natural surroundings, just an hour from Madrid!
