The Bear Cave in San Lorenzo de El Escorial is not a real, deep cave in the geological sense, but rather a peculiar rock formation in the Bosque de la Herrería. It is a natural cavity formed by the arrangement of large granite boulders that create a kind of shelter or "cave." It is located in the Bosque de la Herrería, a protected natural area declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is on a very popular hiking trail, relatively close to the Chair of Philip II and the Fuente de los Hermanitos. Its name comes from the fact that its shape and size might evoke the idea of a bear's den, although no real bear ever lived there. Rather, it is a visual attraction, especially for children. Beyond being a "real" cave, it is a point of interest on the hiking trails in the Bosque de la Herrería.

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.

Mount Abantos is the main summit of the morphological block of the Sierra de Malagón, the geological structure that constitutes the main element of transition between the Sierras de Guadarrama and Gredos. The summit is a good panoramic point of the tectonic trenches of different amplitudes that extend towards the Tagus basin from the Santa María de la Alameda fault, one of the main Hercynian thrusts in the area, and the small granite horst of Las Machotas. The western slope of the Abantos does not really exist. The "back" of the mountain is a narrow plateau or inclined plane modeled by erosion surfaces that have produced very pronounced lateral slopes where the headwaters of the mountain ravines fit.

The Hornillo ravine is a tributary of the Aceña river, in the last western foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama, where the mountain range sinks into the forests of Pinares Llanos and the first mountains that form the eastern massif of the Sierra de Gredos are born. . The rocks are granite, polished and shaped by the current of the stream, which forms small roaring foam jumps when the water is abundant. The forests are repopulated with pine forests with oak meadows in open areas for cattle grazing, a suggestive mountain landscape for an entertaining family outing. The path runs through the forest near the watercourse and crosses the stream again to change slopes. At this point, a path leads to the left through some steps made of roots and trunks, marked with the Sendas Verdes milestone. The first slope is hard, then the path goes through some clearings between the pines and reaches the waterfall of the Hornillo waterfall. The frill is about fifteen meters high, spread over a long stretch to the main pool and then a small ponytail on a polished rocky lambría.
