While many Community of Madrid vacation rentals can be found in the capital, it's worth exploring a little further afield, should you wish to experience the raw appeal of Spain. Around an hour's drive from homes in Madrid, the medieval town of Chinchon boasts a circular central plaza overlooked by locals from their balconies, an array of traditional handicraft stores and a reputation for serving up tiny glasses of potent anise-flavored liqueur – a tempting trio that's sure to provide the perfect complement to time spent exploring the big-ticket attractions of the city.
While there's a lot to be said for getting off the beaten track, exploring the community and country's capital city is a must. Sightseeing in Madrid comes easy, thanks to the likes of the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace of Madrid, although there's just as much fun to be had by joining the cheering crowds at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. For foodies, the wrought-iron-and-glass Market of San Miguel, near the atmospheric Plaza Mayor, serves up the chance to combine a little people watching with tasty tapas-style treats and a glass or 2 of fruity Rioja.
The summer months of June through August may well be a great time to make a splash in Madrid's urban pools, but temperatures that frequently soar into the 80s and 90s can leave some travelers feeling a little hot under the collar. Aside from the scorching heat, it's worth remembering that locals are prone to head to the coast themselves, in August, leaving behind a much quieter Madrid – but, perhaps, a wider choice of Community of Madrid vacation rentals. Spring and fall are a little more comfortable, but often still plenty warm enough to count as T-shirt weather.
Cuenca Alta Manzanares is 1 of 3 regional parks in the Community of Madrid. UNESCO designated it as a biosphere reserve in the 1990s and it counts oak and ash forests, granite peaks and vast plains and pasturelands among its many natural highlights. Wildlife enthusiasts can look forward to glimpses of red deer, wildcat and badgers, while those who take on the challenge of hiking La Pedriza on the Guadarrama Mountains' southern slopes, can expect the not inconsiderable effort to be rewarded with the unforgettable sight of peregrine falcons and griffon vultures soaring in the skies above. Outdoor living doesn't get much better than this.
