📍 About the location
Lozoyuela is located in the Sierra Norte, north from Madrid. It lies on the beautiful hillside of the Sierra Norte, perfect for hiking and connecting with nature.There is a nice town nearby, Buitrago de Lozoya which is one of the most picturesque municipalities in the Community of Madrid and has an important mediaeval heritage. Its historic centre is surrounded by a spectacular wall of Arab origin, surrounded in turn by the waters of the Lozoya River. Behind its ancient walls await the Castle (14th-15th centuries), the Church of Santa MarEa del Castillo, the Clock Tower and even a museum with works by Picasso.Also, Madrid is about 1-1.5 hours by bus from Lozoyuela, so the volunteers can go visit it on their weekends.
