17TH CENTURY AUGUSTINIAN CONVENT
Founded by the Lords of Chinchón in the 17th c., this former Augustinian convent protects its monumental heritage in that of the old quarter of Chinchón, with its emblematic Plaza Mayor. In this framework, the cypress trees, roses and privets of the garden offer a beautiful picture, with the addition of a splendid cloister and softened by the blue of its swimming pool. Walls with a Renaissance stamp, large windows and vaults, classical and Castilian style furniture, and its pleasant, spacious bedrooms make up the inner space, which is characterized by an atmosphere of peace and quiet. The dining room offers 'sopa de ajo' (garlic soup), suckling pig and roast lamb and the typical 'cocido madrileño' (Madrid-style garbanzo bean stew).
