The mountains of the Sierra de Guadarrama lie to the North West of Madrid, and offer an escape from the summer heat, as well as a wealth of sports such as mountain biking during the summer, and skiing in winter. There are many small villages in the mountains, where were it not for the satellite dishes, and modern cars, you would think that time had stopped still. The villages hold markets throughout the year when you can pick up locally produced handicrafts for good prices.
