Owners Direct To Madrid And Its Monte De El Pardo

This year when booking your holidays do it through OWNERS DIRECT

, not only will you save the agents commission but the owner can give you some idea of whats going on in the area around your intended accommodations. This year you have chosen the city of Madrid for your holiday location because inside the city, located eight kilometres from Puerta del Sol is Monte del Pardo which just happens to be one of the best preserved Mediterranean forests in all of Europe. This forest is so large that it covers 16,000 hectares of land or one fourth of the area covered by the capital. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city this is the perfect place with few constructions and mostly unvisited it remains quiet all year long. Visitors are restricted to a small part of this forest so you need to know where you are.

The Regional Park of the High Basin of the Manzanares forms part of the Monte del Pardo. This basin covers an area starting at the Guadarrama Mountain Range over to the centre of Madrid with all this being protected legally just like other natural possessions. The River Manzanares crosses the city but just before it does it forms a valley filled with sandy elements dislodged from the mountain range.

This is a good place to study the flora and fauna of the surrounding area. The meadow formed in this valley has been used for royalty to hunt on due to the variety of game that has been prolific here since the middle ages. Its hard to believe that here in the middle of the capitol city you can see rabbits, wild cats, deer, wild boars and red partridges to name but a few different species that inhabit this forest along with its black poplars, oaks, junipers, ash trees and rock roses that grow here.

Like a lot of Spain that you will come across when booking your accommodation, Monte del Pardo is an extraordinarily beautiful natural landscape. This area was preferred by the royals so much so that Henry III of Castile ordered royal quarters to be built in this forest. After a while the palace was used more for political and courtly Spanish life that it was for hunting. It was to be further embellished by Charles V, Philip II and Philip III after all it was only a short ride into city centre.

Now that you know where the mountain is you can ask the right questions when you contact OWNERS DIRECT. You will need to know when and where access to the park is available and who to contact for a permit if required, where and which restaurant is the best for local cuisine. You may not need to know but just in case you do ask where and what kind of nightlife is available. Dealing with the owner directly has many advantages as you are dealing with someone that knows the area and not some agent miles away from your accommodations.
