This natural environment offers an excellent place to relax and have picnic if you take your own food. The only problem is that it is a bit far from the centre (a few kilometers), I mean, you need either your car or your feet. How to get there: From San Lorenzo de El Escorial, take the road to El Escorial, then take road M-505 (to your right, direction, Avila), and after a few kilometers (maybe just one), you will find the Ermita on your left and Silla de Felipe II a bit further (follow the signs). Internet: - www.sanlorenzoturismo.org, and look under entorno natural (Spanish) or natural environment (English).

Off The Beaten Path: Silla de Felipe II

It is said that King Felipe II, under whose reign the Monastery was built, came here to oversee how the works were developing. It is in La Herrería, out of town, so that, you need a car. Don't forget to have a look at the other pic, it shows a fantastic view of San Lorenzo (what the King saw everytime he came here). Silla means chair. How to get there: The Silla de Felipe II is in La Herrería itself (visit the tip on it). So, from there, just follow the signs. Internet: Check the site and look under "entorno natural" (Spanish) or "natural environment" (English).

La Casita del Príncipe o de Abajo (The Little Prince's House or The Lower House or The Cottage Down Below or...), was built in 1.772 by Juan de Villanueva for the then Príncipe de Asturias (Prince of Asturias), later Rey (King) Carlos IV. - Fax: (+34) 91 890 78 18 How to get there: From the railway station of El Escorial (have a look at my "Warning & Danger Tip", you only need to walk a few metres. From the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, take road M-600 to Madrid, but just after about 300-400 metres, when the road turns left, go straight ahead to El Escorial or railway station, then, before the tunnel, on your right, you will see the entrance.
