The Valley of the Fallen
is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the Community
of Madrid. If you get the chance, go visit it. See more: Valley

The Trail
The map at the left will give you an idea of how to get to the
trail head. First, you've got to get to Peguerinos (Google
Maps). The way I went is up to Puerto Cruz Verde from El Escorial
and turn right. It's easy going after that. You've got to follow
the back roads past Casa de La Cueva "F. Las Negras"
(F=Fuente or fountain - that's the first picture in the series
with the horses). Then, you've got to walk for about 30-45 minutes
up to "R. La Naranjera" (R=Refugio or shelter - see
the shelter without its roof in a photo above). Then head down
to the left for about 2 minutes and you'll be able to see the
top of the cross. If you like, you might be able to double check
all this at a little tourist information office in Peguerinos.
Also, we stayed at a campgrounds called Valleenmedio.
