Holiday apartment in Rozas De Puerto Real: Nature, Trails and Village Culture

Rozas De Puerto Real has preserved its rural character with forests, wildlife and landscapes. Those who choose a holiday apartment in Rozas De Puerto Real can therefore experience the area according to different holiday interests: active trails, nature observation, cultural and historical discoveries, and regional specialities.

Hiking between the square, spring and circular trail

The Los Castaños hiking route is 9.8 km long, follows a circular route and has a moderate to low level of difficulty. It starts at Plaza de España and passes by the tourist office. The route then leads to the 18th-century Fuente del Chorrillo, where there is a picnic area. In this way, the trail combines a clearly described and manageable hiking experience with several specific points in the village and along the route.

The circular format is a consideration in its own right when planning your day, as you can view the route as a complete circuit. If you would like to combine different interests, Los Castaños offers a clear focus on exercise and landscape, while Plaza de España and the Fuente del Chorrillo provide additional cultural and historical points of interest.

Landscape with chestnut trees and winter visitors

The Embalse de los Morales is included in the ZEPA Encinares de los ríos Alberche y Cofio bird protection area. The area near Rozas De Puerto Real is also a wintering ground for birds such as grebes, great crested grebes, storks, herons and ducks. This gives nature enthusiasts a specific view of the waterscape and birdlife without reducing the landscape to a single experience.

The Antiguo Ferrocarril del Tiétar route also has its own distinctive character: it passes through chestnut and oak groves and crosses two bridges. Rozas De Puerto Real's significant chestnut grove covers 420 hectares and is one of the most important chestnut groves in the Comunidad de Madrid. Those who want to compare trails, woodland and nature observation will find several different themes here for planning their holiday.

Fountains, fire and regional flavours

Plaza de España is home to the Fuente de los Cuatro Caños, a fountain built from granite in 1938. Rozas De Puerto Real is also home to the Fuente de las Pimpollas, a fountain dating from the Arab period. The two structures provide the village with two clearly distinct historical points of reference: one fountain is associated with a specific year of construction and material, while the other is associated with a historical period.

The traditional La Calbotada takes place on 1 November. During the event, the residents of Rozas De Puerto Real roast chestnuts in front of their homes, while the town hall organises a public Calbotada. The occasion includes bonfires, bread rolls offered to everyone, and performances of regional and traditional dances. A celebration in Rozas De Puerto Real also features wine tastings as well as Migas and Pinchos.
