When the heat sets in, half of Madrid dreams of the San Juan Reservoir — and this taxi drops you on its shore with no steering wheel involved. The transfer from Madrid to San Martín de Valdeiglesias starts from €107 and covers 73 km in around 70 minutes along the M-501, through pine woods and vineyards. A perfect plan for a day of swimming, watersports or an unhurried visit to the local wineries.

The big draw is the water. The San Juan Reservoir is the closest thing the region has to a beach, complete with bathing areas and a summery atmosphere, which is why on July and August weekends the M-501 fills up with cars hunting for impossible parking. Going by taxi rewrites the script: you step out at the water's edge with the cool box, the inflatable paddleboards and the parasols, and nobody in the group spends the afternoon fretting over where the car was left.

San Martín de Valdeiglesias is far more than its reservoir. The town preserves the Castillo de la Coracera, a fifteenth-century fortress, and takes its winemaking seriously: the town sits among historic wine-growing hills of the Madrid region, with wineries offering tours and tastings among Garnacha vines. Giving the morning to the old town and the afternoon to the water — or the other way round — turns the transfer into a proper day out.

The journey itself is a pleasant one: you leave the capital on the M-501, the road Madrileños know as the reservoirs road, and in little over an hour the cityscape has turned into hills. Travelling by taxi means you can ask to be dropped exactly where your plan begins: the sailing club, the bathing area, the winery door or the town square. No trudging with all your kit under the midday sun. And if the group splits between two spots — some to the water, some to the town — a word during the drive is all it takes.

The return leg deserves thought from the very start. After a day in the sun, the last thing anyone fancies is improvising transport, so the sensible move is to fix a time for the journey home: your driver is waiting at the agreed spot and the return is settled before you have even left Madrid. No small detail if the day includes a tasting — here nobody misses out on the local wines for being the designated driver.
