We leave the parking lot of the Herrería de San Lorenzo de El Escorial and go up to the Silla de Felipe II passing by the Hermitage of the Virgen de Gracia.
In no time we are in La Pradera de Los Cerdos in the middle of the hill of the humps of Las Machotas. What is the step for Zarzalejo.
Then we ascend La Machota 1,404 meters above sea level. Where we photographed with its geodesic point. We do both the ascent and the descent along paths between the granite stone rocks of the area.
Then we return again to the Pradera de Los Cerdos to then climb to La Peña del Fraile at 1,464 meters above sea level. And from this point we go down towards the slope of the Cruz Verde towards the Camino de San Lorenzo and then we go down to the Camino del Ortigal and from there towards the Herrería.
