Just a few miles from Madrid, Tres Cantos enjoys fantastic natural surroundings, as well as being one of the Spanish towns with most trees per inhabitant.

Come enjoy a holiday in Tres Cantos and discover the town’s magnificent location, in the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares Regional Park, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and one of the largest natural areas in the Community of Madrid. The environmental awareness of Tres Cantos, which is one of the greenest Spanish towns with most trees per capita, has also won several awards for the cleanliness of its streets.

With our wide selection of cheap trips to Tres Cantos you’ll be able to explore a town that is characterised by its youthful population, with an average age of around 35 years. This makes the town very dynamic socially, economically and culturally, and this is reflected in the high number of industries and companies that have been created in the area.

Check out our package deals to Tres Cantos and take a day out to visit Parque Central, a park that acts as a green lung of the town. One of the main attractions of this green area is its large artificial lake, which is longer than the pond in Parque del Retiro in Madrid. Young and old alike will enjoy the viewpoints in the park, as well as the ducks and carp that live there.

We also recommend enjoying the outdoors with the bike lane, which is five miles long, and walking along the Madrid section of the Camino de Santiago.

Its proximity to the Spanish capital means there is plenty of accommodation in Tres Cantos, but those who want to stay in historic hotels or more charming establishments may prefer to come to Madrid, with the centre just 17 miles from Tres Cantos.
