Medieval Walls and River Walks in Buitrago del Lozoya

#summervacay Buitrago del Lozoya is one of those towns that feels frozen in time in the coolest way. It’s all wrapped up in medieval walls, with a river looping around it like a natural moat. The views are awesome from pretty much anywhere you stand, mountains in the distance, stone bridges, and rooftops stacked like a painting. You can walk the old city walls and feel like you’re in some kind of fantasy movie. The streets inside are cute and quiet, with little shops, cozy cafés, and shady corners perfect for just chilling. It’s not touristy at all, so you really get that small-town vibe. There’s also a random Picasso museum, which is super fun and kind of unexpected. And if you like nature, the river paths just outside town are peaceful and perfect for a stroll or bike ride. It’s a super easy trip from Madrid and feels like a total change of scenery. Bring comfy shoes, your camera, and zero plans. Just wander and enjoy.
