They say (I don't know how true this is) that Philip II used to watch the progress of the construction of the colossal monastery from this very spot during his hunting trips, which he was very fond of. Whether true or not, it makes for a beautiful viewpoint, especially in autumn.

The Chair of Philip II is a famous granite viewpoint in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, near Madrid. Legend has it that King Philip II used it to view the construction of the Monastery of El Escorial. However, experts believe it was actually an ancient Celtic altar, possibly used for rituals. Today, it's a popular hiking spot with stunning views of the monastery and its surroundings.

The Navahonda hermitage exists as a result of an appearance of the Virgin of Navahonda in an oak tree, to a rancher from Robledo de Chavela, indicating the place of her burial. To get to the Ermita from Robledo de Chavela you must first climb the demanding peak of Navahonda and then descend its mountaineering technique.
