Los Angeles De San Rafael: Reservoirs, Water Sports and Golf

When looking for a hotel in Los Ángeles de San Rafael, it helps to plan your stay around specific interests: water sports, golf or the area’s natural setting. These highlights differ in their form and location. Water sports take place at the two reservoirs; the Cableski Madrid Wakeboard facility is in the centre of the development, and the two golf courses are in the Los Ángeles de San Rafael development. First consider which activity matters most for your trip. Then you can compare the location of a specific hotel with your plans.

Water activities and reservoirs

The Embalses del Carrascal and de los Ángeles are on the western slope of the hill where the Los Ángeles de San Rafael development is located. Both reservoirs are accompanied by the Río Moros, and a variety of water sports take place there. The two bodies of water and the river provide a specific geographical setting for water sports. For a particular activity, Cableski Madrid Wakeboard is another independently named option in the centre of Los Ángeles de San Rafael. It uses a cable-tow system for wakeboarding, water skiing and kneeboarding. This distinction is useful when planning: a variety of water sports take place at the reservoirs, while Cableski Madrid names three sports that use a cable-tow system. Booking and operating conditions can change; check them before taking part.

Golf courses and course formats

The development has a 9-hole golf course and an 18-hole golf course. Campo de Golf ASR is an 18-hole championship course with a par of 71, a length of 6,205 metres and an area of 56 hectares; it also features four lakes. Par 71 classifies the course according to the total par for its 18 holes, while its length and area provide additional measurements. Campo de Golf Ángeles de San Rafael is carved into the granite of the Sierra de Guadarrama. Escuela de Golf ASR has a 9-hole pitch-and-putt course for beginners and professionals. This makes it possible to assess the championship course by its measurements and distinguish the pitch-and-putt format by its expressly stated target groups.

Local history

Los Ángeles de San Rafael began to develop in the 1960s through the development of the El Carrascal estate. This gives the area a specific historical context and adds a perspective on its origins to your leisure plans. Together with the area’s named landscape and sports features, it makes Los Ángeles de San Rafael a place whose development can be understood, as well as a destination for activities.

Getting around and arriving

The Cañada Real Soriana Occidental also provides a geographical reference: it crosses the municipality of El Espinar from Los Ángeles de San Rafael to Ventorro, in the municipality of Navas de San Antonio. Its route places the area in a broader municipal context and distinguishes the starting point from the destination. Los Ángeles de San Rafael is served by a Renfe stop and bus routes, and is close to the N-603 and AP-61. If you plan to travel by train or bus, check the latest timetables before setting off. This lets you consider the local geographical references and the connections relevant to your journey separately.
