Hoyo de Manzanares is a municipality of the Community of Madrid, Spain, and is located on the northwestern side of the Community of Madrid and to the south of the Sierra de Guadarrama.

It has a stable population of roughly 7,457 residents (INE 2008), a statistic that has been increasing consistently from the economic crisis of 2008/9 onwards. The population also greatly increases during the summer due to an influx of various families who own summer houses in the area.

This district of Madrid is found inside the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares Regional Park created by the Community of Madrid in 1985. This regional park is the oldest and most protected regional park in the Community of Madrid. As a result, Hoyo de Manzanares is surrounded by mountains and fields that give the town a beautiful location.

The only way to arrive in Hoyo de Manzanares from the city of Madrid is via the M-618 highway, which bisects the regional park, passing the nearby towns of Torrelodones, Colmenar Viejo, and finally Hoyo de Manzanares.
