With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Cercedilla, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Puerto de Navacerrada Ski Resort, Valdesqui Ski Resort and Parque Recreativo Las Berceas. Situated 30 miles away, San Lorenzo de El Escorial is another place to aim for. If you stop by, don’t miss Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Valley of the Fallen and La Silla de Felipe II.
