Hoyo de Manzanares surrounded by mountains and fields of land that give the town a beautiful view. The only way to arrive in Hoyo de Manzanares from the city of Madrid, is through the M-618 highway that bisects the regional park, passing the nearby towns of Torrelodones, Colemenar Viejo and lastly Hoyo de Manzanares. Lots of evidence has been found of ancient life in this small town, but it wasn’t until the Middle Ages that life had been actually documented in this particular district of Madrid. After the Reconquista, Hoyo de Manzanares was quickly repopulated by Moriscos, Philistines, Segovians and of course Madridians.
