It is surrounded by the Montes Carpetanos, Sierra de la Morcuera (east) and Cuerda Larga (south), and due to that it has many special climatic characteristics. Thanks to the barrier effect caused by Sierra de Guadarrama, which has points up to 2000 m, Oteruelo del Valle enjoys climatic parameters clearly different from other zones of the Castilian meseta. According to that information, the precipitation is very abundant and temperatures are less warm. That climate allows different species from the northwest part of Madrid live there, which are typical mostly in the peninsular centre.
