Pradera de Navalhorno Stone Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The population belongs to the municipality of La Granja de San Ildefonso, it emerged in 1883, when a wood sawmill was built to exploit the forest resources of the Valsaín forests, called at that time Real Aserrío. The original buildings of the workers' village were made of adobe and pine, reinforced with grease from factory machinery to insulate the dwellings from the cold and snow. The original machines from the 19th century stopped working in 1964. The new facility features state-of-the-art technology in the treatment of wood products and has a wood museum open to the public.

Monk's Cave

Highlight • Cave

The natural shelter is a kind of prehistoric dolmen formed by a huge rock resting on others that form the pedestals of the megalith. One of the stories related to this mountain spot tells of an excessively greedy neighbor in the valley. The countryman made a pact with the devil to enrich himself and when the time came to pay the price of the treasure with his soul, he repented, fleeing to the mountain forests in search of refuge. The demon did not take long to find the man, who was hiding in the hollow of some rocks praying to the Virgin for help. The miracle happened and the Virgin defeated the devil, freeing the devout mountain man from his diabolical pact. At that time the man decided to take vows of poverty and became a hermit in the same place where the events took place, which is now known as Cueva del Monje.

Cerro del Puerco Military Fortifications

Highlight • Historical Site

Cerro del Puerco is a hill that rises to the east of Valsaín and that is fortified at its summit. The armored roofs of the bunkers have been blown up after the war, but it still has long parapets with loopholes and double walls. It is a good viewpoint of Peñalara, Siete Picos, Montón de Trigo, Pinareja and the entire Valsaín Valley.
