Prádena del Rincón is one of the six small towns north of the Community of Madrid that form the Sierra del Rincón Biosphere Reserve, declared by UNESCO in 2005.

A territory with less than 1,000 inhabitants guarantees a very important living cultural heritage relating to the rural and the natural.
Traditional architecture, with wonderful examples of the dry stone technique, the traditional knowledge of shepherds and farmers, transhumance, and the centuries-old use of water and forest resources have shaped an entire cultural landscape.
