New Vraja Mandala - Spain

New Vraja Mandala is located in Brihuega, dist. Guadalara, cental Spain at a distance of about 85km. from the Madrid airport. The property consists of ancient aristocratic buildings and about 300 hectares of land. It has been acquired by ISKCON in 1979 and houses the temple of Sri Sri Radha Govinda Chandra. It is a spiritual community dedicated to the teachings of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a nice place to visit for a break. Generally the sun shines and there are nice walks in nature. There are about 35 people, adults and children, living there and a dozen cows, which are cared for very nicely. The devotees organize nice festivals and there are regular spiritual programs in the temple. They do nice plays and their specialty is to daily have very long and lively bhajana sessions. There is a good guest house for visitors. And if you are interested in natural living then you will certainly be interested to have look at Madhuvan, an eco-village that is under development.
