    Hiking

    In the middle of a large circular pylon, a lead rock rises, imitating marble. At the top we find Pegasus carrying Fame on his wings, playing the bugle. Between the hooves of the winged horse stand two defeated warriors while two Moors lie on the ground. The Guadalquivir, the Duero and the Ebro are represented almost at water level.

    Hiking

    The gardens of La Granja have 26 monumental fountains. Fame is famous for its 46m long jet, which is said to be visible from Segovia on a clear day.
    Built in the 18th century by Dumandré and Pitué, it depicts the winged horse Pegasus, whose fame arises from ignorance and envy.
