Nature

A large part of the municipality of Moraleja de Enmedio lies within the protected Parque Regional del Curso Medio del Río Guadarrama. The Guadarrama River crosses part of the municipality and shapes its landscape. The landscape of Moraleja de Enmedio includes elm trees, poplars, holm oaks and scrubland. Fields are common; wheat, barley and rye are cultivated.

The Parque-Jardín Botánico is considered a place for walking. Different elements therefore stand side by side when viewing the natural environment: a protected river region, characteristic trees and shrubs, scrubland and agriculturally used areas.

Nature, architectural history, religious remembrance and community festivals offer different ways of approaching Moraleja de Enmedio. Keeping these focal points separate makes it possible to give the Senda and the Botanical Garden a different emphasis from the church, library or festival program; the town's features remain within their own respective thematic contexts.

Culture

A specific route begins in the town center: the Senda de Moraleja de Enmedio a Arroyomolinos starts in the center of Moraleja de Enmedio. Its architectural history includes the Iglesia de San Millán, which dates from the late 19th century and was rebuilt on the remains of an earlier church from 1534. The church has a Baroque altarpiece made of gilded and polychromed wood.

The San Millán parish preserves 16 consecrated hosts associated with a Eucharistic prodigy from the time of the Spanish Civil War. In addition, the Biblioteca pública municipal de Moraleja de Enmedio provides internet access and an online catalog through which users can search for and reserve documents.

The themes surrounding the town also differ in their focus: the route begins in the town center, the church forms part of its architectural history, the parish preserves a religious memory, and the library combines its collection with internet access and a catalog. In this way, movement, historic architecture and everyday public life stand side by side.

Festivals

The Fiestas Mayores of Moraleja de Enmedio honor the Santísimo Cristo de la Salud. Their program includes a Semana Cultural, a parade of the peñas, a proclamation, a procession and a closing chocolatada. Cultural history and current community events thus provide two different ways of approaching the town.

When booking a holiday apartment, the travel period, room category and cancellation conditions can be considered as separate selection criteria. This information stands alongside the town's nature, culture and event-related themes and forms a separate part of personal travel planning.

You can reach the Centro Cultural El Cerro on bus lines 496, 497 and 498 from Parquesur, or on bus line 495 from Príncipe Pío. Another option is the Cercanías C-5 line to Fuenlabrada, followed by a bus journey (Xanadú).
