Do you accept the challenge? Discover the natural landscapes and monuments of the Madrid Region through the locations that appear in these films. We'll give you a clue: you can find the three World Heritage sites recognized by UNESCO: the San Lorenzo de El Escorial Monastery, the University and Historic Centre of Alcalá de Henares, and the Cultural Landscape of Aranjuez. We have also selected films with scenes shot in the towns of Madrid, enclaves that have preserved their "rural" authenticity, and which are acclaimed for their historical and cultural heritage, such as the Manzanares El Real Castle, the walled town of Buitrago de Lozoya, Patones and its traditional streets, the Goyeneche Palace in Nuevo Baztán, the Main Square of Chinchón or La Coracera Castle in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, among others.
And, of course, the natural surroundings of the Madrid region where you can escape the bustle of the city, such as the Sierra Guadarrama National Park, or the Sierra del Rincón mountains in the Sierra Norte mountain range.
Not to mention the many films made in Madrid containing scenes shot in some of the city's most "filmed" spots
