Hotels in Sierra de Guadarrama, Spain

Sierra de Guadarrama is a mountain range northwest of Madrid, famous for its granite peaks like Peñalara and the UNESCO-listed El Escorial monastery. Winters bring snow and temperatures dropping to 32°F (0°C), perfect for skiing at Puerto de Navacerrada, while summers average 77°F (25°C) ideal for hikes in La Pedriza, a massive granite formation with over 500 climbing routes. You can also visit the 18th-century Royal Palace of La Granja in spring, when its fountains and gardens bloom under mild 60°F (15°C) weather.
