San Lorenzo, one of the first

The mayor, Carlota López Esteban, has collected the plaque that accredits San Lorenzo in the Magical Towns of Spain Network. In this regard, he pointed out “the importance of being part of one of the most prominent territorial and tourism promotion networks in Spain; being one of the first municipalities in the Community of Madrid to belong to it.”
