Weddings, company meetings, team-building days, product presentations and gala dinners can be organized at Finca El Gasco, an estate with a stone manor house in Torrelodones, about 20 minutes from Madrid. The venue does not publish guest capacities, so numbers are agreed directly with its team for each event.
Seminars and company events
The estate markets itself to companies for meetings, team-building activities, exhibitions and gala dinners. Its draw is the natural setting: groups spend the day outdoors on a private estate at the top of a nature park, away from the city, and can move between indoor salons and open-air spaces on the same site. The house is easy to recognize, as its facade appeared in the television series La Casa de Papel.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the other core activity. Civil ceremonies take place outdoors, among the lawns or at the ruins in the grounds, and guests can be welcomed there before moving on to the reception. A wedding planner and a venue manager, each with more than 10 years of experience in events, accompany couples through the preparations and are present on the day. The terrace of the main salon faces the valley, a setting the venue recommends for the sunset.
Rooms and capacities
The outdoor spaces named by the estate are the front of the house, the esplanade, the ruins and the terrace, set among large meadows, gardens, a vegetable garden and a pond. Inside, the two-story manor house has an entrance hall, a main salon with a large fireplace and a terrace overlooking the valley, and several side salons. Capacities for these spaces are not published, so organizers should ask the venue for figures for their layout.
Accommodation
The upper floor of the house holds nine bedrooms, each decorated in its own rustic style. They suit a wedding couple and close family, or a small management team staying overnight.
History and setting
The manor house has more than 100 years of history and was renovated and decorated by the estate's own team, keeping the character of the old building while updating the interiors. The ruins in the grounds date from the late 19th century and belonged to the bullfighter Salvador Sánchez, known as Frascuelo, who retired to the estate. The property stands at the highest point of a nature park, which gives it wide views over the surrounding valley.
