The municipality of Braojos (199 inhabitants in 2014; 2,469 ha; municipal website) is located in the north of the Community of Madrid, on the border with Castilla y León (Province of Segovia).

Braojos was incorporated on 18 July 1366 to the Community of the Town and Land of Buitrago , set up by King Alfonso VI. The town was the capital of a subdivision (quarto) encompassing the villages of Navarredonda, San Mamés, Pinilla de Buitrago, Villavieja del Lozoya and La Serna. In 1366, the area was transferred by Peter I to Pedro González de Mendoza. In the 16th century, the villages of Braojos, La Serna and Ventosilla (disappeared long ago) formed a single council.
