A stay in Velilla de San Antonio offers perfect holiday rest in a charming town surrounded by great natural beauty.

Velilla de San Antonio is a town located just 15 miles from the city of Madrid. This beautiful town on the banks of the River Jarama is an oasis of peace and tranquillity surrounded by nature, a stone's throw from the capital. Come and discover it! Check our cheap travel offers to Velilla de San Antonio!

The starting point of your excursion might be the Plaza de la Constitution in the town centre, where you will find locals and visitors mingling together. The square is dominated by the town hall and a fine sculpture.

Among Velilla de San Antonio's religious buildings, we should give special mention to the San Sebastián Mártir parish church, a meeting place for local parishioners. Admire its facade and then go in to breathe in its peace and serenity. The parish church is next to the Plaza de la Cultura, another pleasant corner of the town.

Velilla de San Antonio is also well known for its Raso lagoon, an area of protected wetlands next to the River Jarama, another of the town's important places of interest. Put on some good boots and walk for hours. Do not forget the binoculars, as this is an area where many species of birds spend the winter. Spectacular views await you!

When you are getting ready to make the very most of our holiday packages to Velilla de San Antonio, do not forget to check the programme at the Miguel Hernández Exhibition Hall, where art and photography shows are held, among other attractions. Culture is very important to the town, as typified by the Fountain of the Three Cultures, which represents the wisdom of Arab, Jewish and Christian civilizations.

To get to Velilla de San Antonio, fly to Madrid-Barajas airport and then go to the city centre. Once there, you have several bus lines that will drop you off in the town. Check out our flight plus hotel offers to Velilla de San Antonio and disconnect for a few days!
