hi guys welcome to my channel it's me again Kat and if you've been living in
Madrid or have travelled to Madrid you've probably already been to the
typical places Avila Segovia Toledo and El Escorial if you haven't been to those
places yet they're very beautiful and I highly recommend it
but this video is exclusively for the OGs of Madrid who needs a more local
experience something a little bit different away from the tourists and
that are a little bit more hidden so I'm gonna share with you my top 7 places to
go in Madrid as hidden gems and as day trip to get away from the city craziness
okay let's get on with the video
OKay number one is la ruta de las caras,la ruta de las caras is a
little tiny little hike in through the mountains and they have these faces that
are hand sculpted out into the mountain so you take those little tiny route it's
not a challenging hike it's very easy you'll finish it in about 30 minutes but
they have a very nice River there and you can the way up is very beautiful
it's about an hour and 45 minutes away in a car you can take a blahblah car
there or rent a car it's definitely worth the trip
it's something I've never seen before and it's very unique the second place is
el Bosque encantado el Bosque encantado or the Enchanted Forest is a very
interesting place it's about an hour away in car or two hours and public
transportation all of the the trees and plants are all sculpted into these
different figures it's really different it's very interesting to see like a
woman is sculpted in a tree you see a tree woman and it's very nice to go for
the day if you want to just get away this is 11 euros to enter this is a
really kind of nice place to go with a lover or for a nice date that you're
getting to know it feels just like the name that you're this enchanted forest
okay my third place is called Consuegra Consuegra is so beautiful you have to
go it's about one hour and 30 minutes in car you can't go in public
transportation but you can definitely find a blah-blah car there or rent a car
for the day it's so beautiful they have these
beautiful windmills in the middle of nowhere in the sunset there is gorgeous
the the landscape of the countryside with the windmills
literally something you cannot miss before you leave Madrid it's so
beautiful there's not much to do there except to just enjoy the scenery but I
definitely do recommend to bring your food have a nice picnic there watch the
sunset and then go back to my fourth place to go for a day trip in Madrid is
Patones, Patones is a very beautiful city that is kind of in the mountains
you will have to go by car as well and all of the the houses are made of stone
and it's very very ancient so these are one of the only cities I think the only
city in Spain that would was invaded by the French they weren't actually invaded
they were protected because of the mountains of where they're located I
mean it's a very very beautiful to go for the day and get some food they have
a lot of artisan goods there that you can buy and it's a really nice trip to
be in the mountains away from everyone and it's just a really nice place to
pass the day with your friends or your lover Okay number five on the list is
Pueblos negros in El Espina actually thought this place had a really
funny name because it translates in English to traveling black people town
and I was like what well pueblos Negros is black town but if you
type it into Google in English it translates into traveling black people's
towns so this town is in La espina it's about an hour and a half away from
Madrid city centre you need to take also a car there isn't much going on but but
there isn't really pretty waterfall and its name kind of comes from the black
stone of the houses this is like a real Pueblo so there isn't really much to do
but it's great to just kind of enjoy the day in this little town and just to kind
of be around with the local people eat some food take some pictures and then go
back to Madrid it might six thing on this list and probably one of my
favorites is la parque de las tetas the boobs park it's in Puente de Vallecas
one of the best Barrios in Madrid has the best views of Madrid that
I've seen in in Madrid so instead of going up to a rooftop bar and having to
pay a fortune you can just go to Las tetas in puente de vallecas it's
completely free and it's so beautiful at sunset to see all of the lights in the
Sun setting over Madrid if you can go on a day with a clear sky it is gorgeous
this is actually just five minutes away from Madrid city centre it's in when
Puente de vallecas the blue line so it's very easy to go my last place is
called El capricho it's in Madrid city centre it's on the Green Line pass
Canillejas all the way up there but it's not that far maybe like 20 minutes
in Metro you can get there and it's this huge park it's so beautiful it just
opened I don't think just a few years ago they have a bunker and a beautiful
lake and it's kind of like parque retiro but a little bit smaller and there's not
as many people so it's a really nice place to bring a date or your friends do
some yoga have a picnic walk your dog and it's just really relaxing ok I have
a bonus for you guys number eight is a El parque Los Molinos is actually in the
same area it's in Suanzes Metro it's a beautiful park where you can see all of
the almond trees in spring they're all white or pink and they're so beautiful
the whole park is full of them and this is a such a romantic place to go walking
when all of the trees are in full bloom ok thanks so much for watching this
