For me as an Alpine child, beautiful rocky peaks on the ridge. Climbing allowed and desired! Recommended tour. The tour is poorly marked (July 2023). The terrain is not particularly dangerous per se, but as soon as you come from the main path to side paths, you have to reckon with T3. Summit ascents each short T4. In any case, I recommend taking a GPS with you.

Perfect view point of the seat of the king of Spain Felipe II, where he observed the building progress of the monastery el escorial. Well that’s what the legend says.

The granite ridge of Siete Picos is one of the most striking reliefs of the Sierra de Guadarrama, rough and challenging from both sides of the mountain range, between the ports of Fuenfría and Navacerrada. Traversing the legendary ridge in good weather is fun, even when the mountain is covered in snow it is a good introduction to mountain hiking for children. In the event of a blizzard, ice or poor visibility, it has dangerous passages and it is not recommended to loiter between the peaks.

King Felipe II, in the middle of the 16th century, decided to build a great work to celebrate the victory of the battle of San Quintín and ordered his secretary, Pedro del Hoyo, to hire the best alchemists and specialists in occult sciences to choose a certain place. in the mountains of Madrid. Philip II had no problems completing the project, although he was excommunicated by the Church, which did not admit the monarch's sympathy for esotericism and heretical books. The place chosen for the monument was the foot of Mount Abantos, in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, with the west façade oriented to the point where the sun sets on the day of San Lorenzo (August 10), the date of the famous battle between the Spanish troops and the French army. At the same time, the king ordered the construction of an observatory in the leafy forests of La Herrería to contemplate day by day the evolution of the works accompanied by his entourage, a pulpit carved out of several granite rocks known as the Silla de Felipe II, at the foot of Las Machotas, surrounded by oak trees and good views of the monumental complex, considered one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Europe.
