Spend your holiday alternating between the powdery snow and a blazing fire at Puerto de Navacerrada Ski Resort and Madrid SnowZone. From novices to those who know their stuff, there's something for everyone at these snow-covered wonderlands.
Are you thinking of stopping by the Picasso Museum and the Buitrago City Walls? They're right near the centre of Berzosa del Lozoya, 3 kilometres to the east. Alternatively, you could go to Robledillo de la Jara. It's 5 kilometres to the southeast of Puentes Viejas and well-known for Plaza de la Casona and Plaza de Television Espanola.
Do a little shopping and see what's on offer in La Lastrilla. This destination is 45 kilometres away and close to Plaza Mayor, the Segovia Aqueduct and Alcazar of Segovia. That said, don't forget about Segovia Cathedral and Monasterio del Parral either.
To truly experience a destination is to sample the local food and drink, so get ready to nibble, gnaw, slurp and sip your way across Sierra de Guadarrama. The only thing you need to take with you is a big appetite!
Once you grab a table and thumb through a restaurant menu, you'll see that garlic and beef are a few ingredients commonly found in dishes here.
Are you looking for an iconic Puentes Viejas dining experience? There are some specialties you shouldn't miss, such as besugo al horno (baked red bream) and callos a la madrilena (madrid tripe).
Because a life without dessert isn't worth living, you should definitely acquaint yourself with natillas madrilenas (madrid style custard). This sweet treat tells the story of the region in just one bite.
Don't let any cultural barriers put you off! Make your journey to Sierra de Guadarrama a more satisfying one by memorising a couple of expressions in the local tongue. Try to get your lips around '¡Feliz cumpleaños!'. It translates as 'happy birthday'. '¡Buena suerte!', which means 'good luck', is also rather common.
You can expect an air of fever and excitement around the 12th of October. The locals will be getting themselves ready for National Day, a day of nation-wide celebrations.
It's always a pity to say "Hasta la vista" to Puentes Viejas, but you can always come back!
