According to local legend, Patones de Arriba was founded by shepherds seeking refuge in the surrounding hills, allowing the village to remain isolated for centuries. This isolation helped preserve its unique architecture, narrow stone streets, and rural traditions, making it one of Madrid’s most distinctive heritage destinations.
