Cadalso de los Vidrios acquired fame in the 16th and 17th centuries thanks to the fact that its glass factory supplied the royal pharmacy of the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. In the municipality there are important historical buildings, such as the Renaissance palace of Villena. This town is located at the top of the hillside, which allows you to contemplate the Alberche valley majestically.

The Cistercian monastery of Pelayos de la Presa is the oldest monastic complex in Madrid. It dates back to the 12th century, and although it was renovated in the 15th, its abandonment after the confiscation of Mendizabal has caused its current state.
