(Translated by Google) A very nice walk that can be done from Zarzalejo or from the Silla de Felipe II in San Lorenzo del Escorial. There is about 450 meters of elevation gain and the views are worth the effort. You see the entire Sierra de Madrid, the Valmayor reservoir, Sierra de Gredos and Madrid (Original) Un paseo muy bonito q se puede hacer desde Zarzalejo o desde la Silla de Felipe II en San Lorenzo del Escorial.

(Translated by Google) If you like hiking and the mountains, it is one of the climbs that you cannot miss between San Lorenzo de El Escorial and Zarzalejo. From the Silla de Felipe II it takes approximately an hour to reach a more or less relaxed pace. The views of San Lorenzo and the rest of the Sierra de Guadarrama are beautiful from this point. (Original) Si te gusta el senderismo y la montaña, es una de las subidas que no puedes perderte entre San Lorenzo de El Escorial y Zarzalejo. Desde la Silla de Felipe II se tarda aproximadamente una hora en llegar a un paso más o menos relajado. Las vistas a San Lorenzo y al resto de la Sierra de Guadarrama son preciosas desde este punto.
