What to do in San Sebastián de los Reyes

San Sebastián de los Reyes lies in the northern Madrid metropolitan area, on the left bank of the Jarama river. The Canal de Isabel II, which crosses the municipality from north to south, creates a green corridor of cycle paths and footpaths linking the urban fabric with the Monte de El Pardo and the dehesas to the north. The Jarama riverbanks, reachable by MTB or on foot from the town centre, form a gallery ecosystem of poplar and ash trees that contrasts with the surrounding farmland. The municipality is a reference point in northern Madrid for karting and motorsport, with professional-grade facilities close to the centre. Horse-riding routes from the local stables follow dirt tracks along the Jarama corridor, dehesa land and drovers' roads connecting with Alcobendas and Algete. Good public transport links from central Madrid allow Madrileños to use San Sebastián de los Reyes as a starting point for nature activities without needing a car.
