My tip“Half-day outing near Madrid; Sunday mornings are livelier. Good for families, with a guided cave visit.”
A town in south-west Madrid that keeps a large 17th-century square with arcades and wooden balconies, where King Felipe IV married Mariana of Austria in 1649 CE.
What to see
Plaza de Segovia with its arcades · the Casa de la Cadena, where Felipe IV stayed for his wedding · the church on the hill and its lookout · the old cave shelters under the houses
Easy to reach, needs a car
35 minutes from Madrid on the A-5, with regular buses. The centre is relatively flat; an hour and a half.
Address
Pl. de Segovia, 28600 Navalcarnero, Madrid
