(Translated by Google) Pedraza is a small perfectly preserved medieval town and close to Madrid, 140 km or so away from an unavoidable visit. You can only enter through the only door in the wall that surrounds it, and either you leave the car below the town, which has only 20 parking spaces, or you follow the single direction through the previous door and you arrive at the castle where there is a huge parking lot. The well-preserved castle belongs to a painter and they charge you €7. There are visits every hour and the schedule is divided. On that same cliff you can see the nests of the Eagles and they flutter around the surrounding area, the truth is impressive. Further down the aqueduct you will find the house of the eagle, an interpretation center in an old church and the gardens of San Miguel de los Frailes all for €1 and children €0.50. A must visit the Plaza Mayor with the restaurant of Samantha de Master Chef, the church of Santa María and the town hall as well as the house of Pilatos with the balcony. Jail in the first old dungeon door and enjoy its streets with incredible charm. In the afternoon we pass through Buitrago de Lozoya, which is another town worth visiting. (Original) Pedraza es un pequeño pueblo medieval perfectamente conservado y cerca de Madrid 140km más o menos de visita inevitable. Sólo puedes entrar por la única puerta de la muralla que la rodea,y o dejas el coche abajo del pueblo que hay escasas 20plazas o sigues la dirección única atravesando la puerta anterior y llegas al castillo donde hay un parking enorme. El castillo bien conservado pertenece a un pintor y te cobran 7€ hay visitas cada hora y el horario es partido . En ese mismo risco puedes ver los nidos de las Águilas y a estas revolotear por los aledaños impresionante la verdad. Más abajo en el acueducto encontráras la casa del aguila ,centro de interpretación en una antigua iglesia y los jardines de san Miguel de los frailes todo por 1€ y los niños 0.50€. Visita obligada la Plaza Mayor con el restaurante de Samantha de Master Chef ,la iglesia de Santa María y el ayuntamiento así como la casa de Pilatos con la balconada. La cárcel en la primera puerta antigua mazmorra y disfrutar de sus calles con un increíble encanto. Por la tarde pasamos por Buitrago de Lozoya que es otro pueblo digno de visitar

(Translated by Google) I take the main square as a reference to rate the town of Pedraza in general. First of all, I must say that my visit was a weekday stay. Emphasize the latter because surely things would change a lot on weekends based on what the hostellers we met with told us. One weeknight I can attest that it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. All peace, silence, tranquility, in short, the town for us. During the day, more businesses are opening and there is more movement. Apart from the square, there are many places of interest but just getting lost in its streets is priceless. (Original) Tomo como referencia la plaza mayor para puntuar la villa de Pedraza en general. Ante todo decir, que mi visita fue de una estancia en día laborable. Recalcar esto último porque seguramente la cosa cambiaría y muchísimo en fines de semana a tenor de lo que nos dijeron l@s hosteler@s con los que nos juntamos. Una noche entre semana doy fe que es de los sitios más bonitos que he podido estar nunca. Todo paz,silencio, tranquilidad, en fin,el pueblo para nosotros. De día, ya abren más negocios y hay más movimiento. Aparte de la plaza, hay muchos lugares de interés pero solo perderse por sus calles no tiene precio.

Recomiendo sentarse y leer en internet sobre las diferentes casas que conforman la plaza y su historia, pues son muy interesantes.

(Original) La Villa de Pedraza conjunto histórico maravilloso el cual, para mí, recomiendo 100% su visita, y si es posible poder disfrutar del Concierto de las Velas es algo único.

(Translated by Google) The Plaza Mayor of Pedraza is very beautiful. I couldn't see it in normal conditions, since it happened that they were in the middle of the holidays. Even so, we were able to enjoy its bulls and the bars and restaurants that hide its arcades. An incredible atmosphere. (Original) Muy bonita la Plaza Mayor de Pedraza.

(Translated by Google) I loved the plaza, they were at parties and they had set up the bullring. We had dinner at the tavern and then had a drink on the terrace. A small group was playing and there was a great atmosphere. Samanta super nice and super happy. A ten for the town and its neighbors. We will return.

(Translated by Google) It is a charming town, not very crowded and very beautiful. I think it would be advisable to prohibit cars from entering the town. (Original) Es un pueblo encantador, poco masificado y muy bonito. Creo que sería recomendable que se prohibiera que los coches pudieran acceder al interior del pueblo.

(Translated by Google) That day it rained and I couldn't tour it properly, but I will return because I loved what I saw. All very old and beautifully preserved! I also want to eat somewhere local. (Original) Ese día llovió y no lo pude recorrer correctamente, pero volveré porque lo que vi me encantó. Todo muy antiguo y hermosamente conservado!. Quiero también comer en algún lugar local.

(Translated by Google) Pedraza is a medieval town that I never tire of visiting. It is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Spain. During the festivities, the entire town and visitors gather in the main square, converted into a bullring, and carry out cultural activities when there are no bullfights. It is a luxury to eat suckling pig in one of the restaurants that overlooks the square through its balconies on the upper floor. (Original) Pedraza es una villa medieval que no me canso de visitar. Esta considerado como uno de los pueblos mas bonitos de España. Durante las fiestas todo el pueblo y visitantes se reúnen en la plaza mayor, convertida en plaza de toros y realizan actividades culturales cuando no hay corridas. Es todo un lujo comer el cochinillo en uno de los restaurantes que da a la plaza a través de sus balcones en la planta superior.

Nice!

Very pretty.

Good place

(Translated by Google) Very well-kept town with very clean facades, ideal for spending a weekend day. It also eats very well. We left the car on the outskirts, a good idea because otherwise you have to go through the only entrance door to the villa and cross the town to leave the car in the main parking lot. That's a nuisance for walkers, honestly, because some streets are narrow. Highlights include the visit to the old prison that was at the entrance to the town and the walk around the wall. (Original) Pueblo muy cuidado con fachadas muy limpias, ideal para pasar un día de fin de semana. También se come muy bien. Nosotros dejamos el coche en las afueras, todo un acierto porque sino tienes q pasar por la única puerta de entrada a la villa y atravesar el pueblo para dejar el coche en el parking principal. Eso es un incordio para los paseantes, la verdad, pues algunas calles son estrechas. Destacar la visita a la antigua cárcel que había en la entrada del pueblo y el paseo por los alrededores de la muralla.

(Translated by Google) It is impressive how the town is on a walled hill, with only one entrance and exit, the doors have been preserved since its creation, another interesting fact and that until a few years ago I was told that the doors were closed, it is part of the history of the town, so it's worth taking his photos (Original) Es impresionante como el pueblo esta en una cima amurallado, una sola entrada y salida, la s puertas se conservan desde su creacion otro dato interesante y que hasta hace algunos años me dijeron que las puertas se cerraban, es parte de la historia del pueblo, asi que vale la pena tomarle sus foticos

(Translated by Google) Little piece of history, well cared for and preserved, for a change from so many half-abandoned places in Castilla. It is worth the walk, the wonderful square, streets, location and castle. Good gastronomic offer. (Original) Trocito de historia, bien cuidado y conservado, para variar de tantos lugares medio abandonados de Castilla. Merece las pena su paseo, estupenda plaza, calles, emplazamiento y castillo. Buena oferta gastronómica.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful medieval town. It is a small, well-kept and very beautiful town. Celebrate one of the most beautiful holidays. I recommend it so that you go see it and eat in the restaurants, which have very good food. Anyone who goes please take care of the environment and don't dirty or break anything. (Original) Pueblo medieval maravilloso. Es un pueblo pequeñito, cuidado y muy bonito. Celebra una de las fiestas más bonitas. Lo recomiendo para que vayáis a verlo y comáis en los restaurantes, que se come muy bien. Todo el que vaya que por favor cuide del entorno y no ensucie ni rompa nada.

(Translated by Google) It is a normal church, with a certain charm for having appeared in the "30 coins" series. It is very difficult to find it open, only on Sundays during mass hours (about 30 minutes). During the mass, curiously, it is celebrated on the side and not in the central aisle. (Original) Es una iglesia normalita, con cierto encanto por haber aparecido en la serie "30 monedas". Es dificilisimo encontrarla abierta, sólo los domingos en horario de misa (unos 30 minutos). Durante la misa, cómo curiosidad, está se celebra en un lateral y no en pasillo central.

(Translated by Google) Plaza Mayor and Church of San Juan Bautista The main square, as well as all the surroundings of the town are a delight. It is worth walking through the silent cobblestone streets, discovering the old palaces, delighting in the semicircular arches and coats of arms that surprise you at every corner. Of course, it is essential to wear sports shoes to walk comfortably. Be sure to stop at the Plaza Mayor, where the church of San Juan Bautista is located. It is a Romanesque-style temple, with double arches in its tower and an exterior apse that we can see appearing in the square of its name just behind, accessed through a small arcade, the Plaza del Apse. It is usually closed, since it has very restricted hours, exclusively for masses. (Original) Plaza Mayor e Iglesia de San Juan Bautista La plaza mayor, así como todos los alrededores de la villa son una delicia. Merece la pena pasear por las silenciosas calles empedradas, descubrir los antiguos palacetes, deleitarse entre arcos de medio punto y escudos de armas que te sorprenden en cualquier esquina. Eso si, imprescindible para andar cómodamente ir con zapatillas deportivas. No dejes de parar en la Plaza Mayor, donde se encuentra la iglesia de San Juan Bautista. Es un templo de estilo románico, con doble arquería en su torre y un ábside exterior que podemos ver asomar en la plaza de su nombre justo detrás, accediendo por un pequeño soportal, la plaza del Ábside. Suele estar cerrada, ya que tiene un horario muy restringido, exclusivo para misas.

(Translated by Google) It is a church built in the 11th century in a Romanesque style and rebuilt in the Baroque period. Various elements are preserved from the Romanesque period, such as its double arched tower, its apse (quite modified) and its baptismal font. (Original) Se trata de una iglesia construida en el siglo XI con un estilo románico y reedificada en época barroca. De época románica se conservan diversos elementos, como su torre de doble arquería, su ábside (bastante modificado) y su pila bautismal.

(Translated by Google) It is beautiful from the outside, inside the main square. It is always closed, it only has hours for masses and not for visits so I don't know how to value it much more. (Original) Por fuera es bonita, dentro de la plaza mayor. Está siempre cerrada, tiene solo horario para misas y no para visitas por lo que tampoco sé la puede valorar mucho más.

(Translated by Google) The church is a prominent monument in the town of Pedraza, being in the Plaza Mayor, although for tourists I think it cannot be visited. In none of the 3 visits we have made to Pedraza has it been open and it is a very beautiful building, with an elegant tower. Behind it there is an idyllic place with an emblematic tree in whose shade you can sit and enjoy the surroundings. (Original) La iglesia es un monumento destacado en la villa de Pedraza, al estar en la Plaza Mayor, aunque turísticamente creo que no es visitable. En ninguna de las 3 visitas que hemos hecho a Pedraza ha estado abierta y es un edifico muy bello, con una elegante torre. Detrás hay un idílico lugar con un árbol emblemático a cuyo sombra puedes sentarte a disfrutar del entorno.

(Translated by Google) The whole town is a luxury (Original) Todo el pueblo es un lujo

(Translated by Google) Romanesque church remodeled in baroque style. The highlight of the exterior is its tower. (Original) Iglesia románica remodelada en estilo barroco. Lo más destacado del exterior es su torre.

Nice place. What we had was really good. I would repeat.

Such a wonderful experience dining here. The food was great and the location is perfect… with beautiful views from Pedraza. So easy to make a last minute reservation and also to modify it as needed which is so helpful when traveling. The most impressive part of our lunch here was the customer service we received. Every single staff member at this restaurant was so friendly and welcoming, and I will definitely return for that reason.

These guys are serious about their meat. They treat it with reverence. As should you. Taking a sweet cocktail before meal will be strictly discouraged as it spoils the pallet. Thank you for great food and hospitality

Outstanding service, wonderful food, beautiful setting. The roast lamb is fabulous - but so is everything else! A must if you are anywhere near. And if on a weekend say hello to Paco who looks after the upper dining room with charm and outflowing simpatia.

Honestly, I've visited many restaurants near Madrid over the years and tasted many 'asados' and I can say that the one I had today was one of the best. The dessert was a surprise too. We had been before but had forgotten how nice it was. We will return soon!

Grear spot for lunch. Arrived at 3pm on a weekday with no reservation and they gave us a table. Good service - steer clear of the set menu unless you are very hungry! Situated in a restored village dating back to Roman era. Great views if the weather is good.

The cochinillo was chewy, besides they are charging for tap water 4.5€ a glass, wasn’t there a Spanish law about that? Definitely a no-go in the area…

(Translated by Google) Beautiful exhibition hall in the church of Santo Domingo (Original) Preciosa sala para exposiciones la iglesia de Santo Domingo

(Translated by Google) The 'Candle Night' experience was super cool. The entire historic center is illuminated with candles in the shapes of the moon, hearts.... The atmosphere is phenomenal, we even caught the sunset which was a unique and extraordinary moment. Admission is free, but you have to get it before because there is a cupola (Original) La experiencia 'Noche de velas'super guay. El casco histórico esta iluminado entero de velas con formas de luna,corazon.... El ambiente fenomenal, incluido hemos pillado la puesta de sol que ha sido un momento único y extraordinario. La entrada gratis, pero hay que sacarla antes porque hay un cupulo

(Translated by Google) Beautiful visit to a unique town full of magic and charm, you have to go with time and pay attention to the location of the car since it is parked in a very large esplanade and at night it can be difficult to find it. Tickets to access the villa are free and must be purchased on the foundation's website. Bring a sandwich and drink since prices go up that night... (Original) Preciosa visita a un pueblo unico lleno de magia y encanto, hay que ir con tiempo y quedarse bien con la ubicacion del coche ya que se aparca en una explanada muy muy grande y por la noche llega a ser dificil encontrarlo. Las entradas para acceder a la villa son gratuitas y hay que cogerlas en la web de la fundacion. Llevar un bocata y bebida ya que esa noche los precios suben...

(Translated by Google) The town is beautiful but in the middle of July, everything being closed on Mondays and Tuesdays is too much, even the gift shops, bakeries and bars. There were many visitors with nothing to visit (Original) El pueblo es precioso pero en pleno julio que todo esté cerrado lunes y martes es demasiado, hasta las tiendas de regalos, panaderías y bares. Habíamos muchos visitantes sin nada que visitar

(Translated by Google) Beautiful town with a special charm and an imposing castle. Essential. (Original) Pueblo precioso con un encanto especial y con castillo imponente.Imprescindible.

(Translated by Google) I loved the town with the lit candles, it creates a very romantic and unique atmosphere. (Original) Me encantó el pueblo con las velas encendidas, crea un ambiente muy romantico e único.

(Translated by Google) It's almost not worth it. There is so much crowd that you can't even see the candles and let's not even talk about taking proper photos... It wouldn't be bad if the capacity were reduced since 5,000 tickets plus the people staying there and those who were already there in the morning is too much. It's quite chaotic. (Original) Casi no merece la pena. Hay tanta multitud que ni siquiera se pueden apreciar las velas y ya ni hablemos de hacer fotos en condiciones… No estaría mal que se disminuyese el aforo ya que 5.000 entradas más la gente que se hospeda allí y los que ya estaban de por la mañana es demasiado. Es bastante caótico.
