Navalcarnero

Travel Guide

Navalcarnero
Navalcarnero is history, architecture, culture and cuisine. All these ingredients make it one of the most important tourist towns in Madrid.

Your holiday in Navalcarnero will take you to the scenes of major historical events, such as the royal wedding of King Philip IV or the uprising against the French during the Spanish War of Independence. In fact, you’ll find a monument to King Philip IV of Spain in Plaza de la Puerta del Sol, a historical crossroads and meeting point for locals.

The heart of Navalcarnero is Plaza de Segovia, a paved square surrounded by the main streets of the town. The old buildings around the square served a variety of functions for the community: from the town hall and the jail, to butcher shops, bakeries and a tavern. To this day, the square still hosts popular festivities, when the colourful façades and galleries are decorated.

Nearby stands the beautiful church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción from the 17th century, whose towers topped with capitals look out over the Navalcarnero cityscape. Also worth a visit is the church of San Pedro, where you can enjoy the detailed fresco of the central dome. When you see it, you’ll understand why it’s nicknamed the “Sistine Chapel of Navalcarnero”. Check out our cheap trips to Navalcarnero and see all this and more.

The cuisine and wine tradition are very strong in Navalcarnero: the traditional dish is the olla del segador, a stew of chickpeas that was eaten by farmers. You’ll definitely want to wash it down with a good DO wine. You’ll discover the secrets of how these excellent wines are made at the Wine Museum and Navalcarnero Visitors’ Centre. Both of these are home to old caves that were used as a wine cellar and pantry.

The town of Navalcarnero is part of the Parque Regional del Curso medio del río Guadarrama y su entorno, a regional park in a wonderful natural setting. A visit here will let you discover archaeological sites and monuments such as the dam of El Gasco or the castle of Aulencia.

"Beautifully renovated property in a great location. Large rooms with a desk and large sofa. Beautiful bathrooms. It did switch to being a Marriot while I stayed which definitely reduces the luxury vibe a bit."
