Holiday Apartment in Brea De Tajo: Trails, Landscapes and Golf

The trails pass through landscapes with centuries-old holm oaks, oak trees and the native plant known as El Zumaque. It was formerly used for tanning leather and producing dyes. Historic shepherds’ huts and enclosures along the hiking trails are connected with transhumance. Monte El Robledal is a characteristic example of Mediterranean woodland. If you would like to combine nature and cultural history, these features provide different starting points for planning your day.

The parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is a Neoclassical building and was declared a heritage monument by the Comunidad de Madrid on 25 June 1997. It preserves wall paintings by Ginés de Andrés Aguirre, including depictions of the Church Fathers in the vault’s spandrels. From the earlier Gothic-Renaissance church, known as Santa María la Mayor in the 16th century, the three-part tower, the baptistery with a ribbed vault and the baptismal font have survived. The church also contains the remains of the oldest organ façade in the Comunidad de Madrid.

For a holiday apartment in Brea De Tajo, the town centre can also play a role as a focus of travel planning: this is where the Centro Deportivo Seve Ballesteros is located. It provides 2,000 square metres for golf training and has areas for putting, chipping, approach shots, bunker practice and a tee line. Thus, alongside hiking and architecture, the town also offers a specifically described training facility.

As part of oleotourism in the Comarca de Las Vegas and the Alcarria Madrileña, guided tours, craft workshops and temporary exhibitions are organised.
