La granjilla de la fresneda
The monico gully
An important part of the ponds and gardens have also been recovered, which undoubtedly constitute a magnificent natural space, where you can enjoy a unique landscape in the outskirts of Madrid.
The estate is closely linked to the figure of its creator, Philip II, whose lesser-known facet as a man in love with nature and a great lover of parks, gardens and waterworks is evident in any of the tours that are made by the Park.
His great interest in nature was not only manifested in his fondness for hunting and walks in the woods, but also in his passion for trees, flowers and gardens, which, through the numerous documents studied, reveals a true Renaissance man; cultured, sensitive, interested in science, mathematics, botany and a great expert and collector in architecture, painting and sculpture, among others.

De natura pedraza
The Granjilla was designed by Juan Bautista de Toledo as a counterpart, but conceptually opposite, to the Monastery of El Escorial. Other contributors to the project were Gaspar de Vega, Juan de Herrera, Pedro de Tolosa, fray Marcos de Cardona, and Petri Jansen.
La Casa de Campo de Madrid, La Granjilla de La Fresneda del Escorial and El Canal del Escorial (built to supply water to the Monastery) and La Cacera de La Granjilla de La Fresneda (the aqueduct to supply the ponds of La Granjilla, from the Aulencia River) were designed by Juan Bautista de Toledo and Juan de Herrera. These civil engineering works were part of a vast network of hydraulic, environmental and infrastructural transformations that extended from Madrid to the slopes of the Abantos and the mountain peaks of Santa María de la Alameda, the starting point of El Canal del Escorial, the catchment area of the Alberche River.
El escorial
La Fresneda (conosciuta anche come La Granjilla de La Fresenda de El Escorial o La Granjilla) è un parco di El Escorial, Comunità di Madrid, Spagna. Costruito tra il 1561 e il 1569, era il parco reale prívate di Filippo II nei dintorni del Monastero di El Escorial.
Per simboleggiare l’unione e la centralizzazione del potere politico della monarchia ispanica, nel 1561 Filippo II scelse, quasi contemporaneamente, Madrid come capitale del Regno di Spagna e la collina di Abantos, un monte della Sierra di Guadarrama, per costruire un monastero geronimiano, il Monastero di San Lorenzo El Real, conosciuto anche come Monastero dell’Escorial, o El Escorial: il monastero riceve il suo nome dal comune di El Escorial. Inoltre, il re incaricò Juan Bautista de Toledo di costruire un Parco Reale a La Fresneda, allora un villaggio, ai piedi di Abantos e Las Machotas, vicino al piccolo villaggio di El Escorial (equidistante da entrambi, el Monasterio e La Granjilla).
La Granjilla fu progettata da Juan Bautista de Toledo come omologa, ma concettualmente opposta, al Monastero di El Escorial. Altri collaboratori al progetto furono Gaspar de Vega, Juan de Herrera, Pedro de Tolosa, fray Marcos de Cardona e Petri Jansen.
