Where to stay in Cercedilla
Cercedilla is a small mountain village, so accommodation options are limited but well-suited for a relaxed stay. The village centre is your best base, putting you within easy walking distance of the local market and the main square. Try Town Centre for a peaceful, convenient spot.
If you prefer something with a bit more character, there are rural guesthouses and small hotels dotted along the surrounding Sierra de Guadarrama foothills. Sierra de Guadarrama is a good pick if you want fresh air and easy access to both the market and the mountains.

The Cercedilla Craft Market runs during Summer 2024 on a weekly basis and focuses on handicrafts, making it a good stop for locally made goods and gifts. The number of stalls is not fixed, so it is worth checking locally before making a special trip.
