One of the best things Madrid offers is the oportunity to escape from it in the weekends, and a whole bunch of possibilities to practice some hiking, and breath some fresh air (normally missing in the city centre). This weekend I was thinking of going somewhere in the mountains, but the weather is not very good so far (raining) and the forecast is not better. Anyway, this idea reminded me I had some pictures in my hard drive from last time I went to Navacerrada with some colleagues from work.
It was a nice saturday, hiking a couple of kilometres in the north side of Navacerrada, and driving to La Granja de San Ildefonso where we enjoyed a great meal (in the spanish way: a big first plate, a huge second one… and dessert, of course), and we headed to the palace gardens for a more relaxed walk (the food needed some movement 😉 ).
