Cercedilla (Spanish: [θeɾθeˈðiʎa] ⓘ) is a municipality in the Community of Madrid, in central Spain.

It was the hometown of Francisco Fernández Ochoa (1950–2006), an alpine ski racer known for being the first (and only) Spaniard to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics.

Less than two weeks before his death from cancer, a statue was erected in his honor in Cercedilla.

[2] Many of his siblings were also on the national ski team; his sister Blanca won an Olympic bronze medal in 1992 in France.

Line C-8 connects Cercedilla with Madrid, Alcalá de Henares and Guadalajara, while the C-9 line has a more tourist use than commuter use, since it only has two stops, one in Navacerrada and the other in Cotos, located in the Sierra de Guadarrama.
