• Illustration — Statue in Cercedilla of Francisco Fernández Ochoa It was the hometown of Francisco Fernández Ochoa (1950–2006), an alpine ski racer known for being the first Spaniard to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics. He won the slalom in 1972 in Japan. Less than two weeks before his death from cancer, a statue was erected in his honor in Cercedilla. Many of his siblings were also on the national ski team; his sister Blanca won an Olympic bronze medal in 1992 in France.

Train
Train
Cercedilla has a train station which gives service to two Cercanías lines, line C-8 and C-9. 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. In addition, a regional train line leaves from here (although the service is provided with commuter trains) and connects the village of Cercedilla with Segovia.
