El Real Sitio de San Ildefonso is a
little village in the province of Segovia (10 km to the capital city),
only 1 hour away of Madrid .
It is well know by the Royal Palace of the XVIII century and their gardens, called
La Granja , and by the Royal
Glass Factory. La Granja
is in a natural setting: in the north slope of the Guadarrama Sierra, very near
of Navacerrada port and surrounded by the Valsaín pinewood.
All of these tourist attractions took
us to spend a weekend in La Granja .
