The philosopher Miguel de Unamuno declared: "This is a place that every Spaniard should visit at least once in his life, just as Muslims go to Mecca" Just 56 km from Madrid, 1 hour by train from Atocha station, it is nevertheless one of Madrid's most popular holiday resorts, both for its location in the heart of the sierra and for its historical treasures. In this village, Philip II decided to build a palace-monastery dedicated to Saint Lawrence (San Lorenzo), in memory of his victory at Saint-Quentin on August 10, 1557. He died here in 1598.
