Finca el Torreón de Don Jacinto

Finca el Torreón de Don Jacinto hosts seminars, product launches, team building days, company lunches and weddings on a 10-hectare estate in Galapagar, about 25 minutes from Madrid. Each event has the whole property to itself, since only one event is held per day. The official site cites formats from a seminar for 25 people up to outdoor programs across the grounds.

Seminars and company events For meetings, the estate offers a glazed, climate-controlled hall of 240 m² and, for smaller working sessions, a former factory building where a seminar for 25 people can be organized. The official site lists meetings, conventions, conferences, seminars, training, coaching, congresses, incentives, team building, family days, product launches and adventure programs.

Outdoors, the property gives a company a lot of room. The Jacinto Benavente Boulevard measures 1,200 m². The gardens around the house cover 7,000 m², with wide views over Madrid. An open meadow of 8,000 m² suits large activities, and 50,000 m² of pine forest with paths and stone lookouts can host team building and adventure formats. There is also a swimming pool and tracks for vehicles. Private parking holds more than 150 cars, and buses can reach the site.

An events team advises the client from planning to the day itself. Because the estate is rented in full, a company can combine the hall, gardens, meadow and woodland in a single program. Availability and conditions are requested directly from the venue.

Weddings and receptions The estate stages weddings outdoors, in more than 7,000 m² of gardens with views of Madrid at sunset. The cocktail takes place in the gardens, and the house, built in stone, gives the ceremony its setting. The official site also lists other social events, such as birthdays and anniversaries, and a hall presented in a news item as the estate's new events room.

Rooms and capacities The main indoor space is the 240 m² glazed, climate-controlled hall. The former factory suits a seminar for 25. The site does not publish seated or standing capacities for the hall, so ask the team to confirm a figure for your layout.

History and setting The property was the home of Jacinto Benavente, the Spanish playwright who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1922. Stone lookouts and benches from his time are still in the woodland. The estate totals more than 100,000 m², with 50,000 m² of forest and 7,000 m² of gardens. It has also served as a location for television series, music videos and photo shoots.

Getting there The estate is on the M-505 road at km 14.2, in Galapagar, on the road to El Escorial. The site gives 25 minutes from Moncloa in Madrid. The entrance lies about 400 meters from the main road, and there is private parking on site.
