Hidden Madrid Region: Private Day Trip to La Hiruela (Sierra del Rincón)

Hidden Madrid Region: La Hiruela

Looking for a quiet, nature-rich escape that still feels authentically Spanish?
La Hiruela is a tiny slate-stone village wrapped in forests and mountain air—wooden footbridges crossing a crystal stream, traditional beehives on sunny slopes, and a rhythm of life that invites you to slow down.

Our private day trip blends gentle walking with story-led village time, designed for travelers who prefer beauty, calm, and comfort—at their own pace.
