There's a nice view of El Escorial from here, where Phillip II is rumored to have come to watch the construction of his palace. What intrigued me more personally was the surrounding forests and mountains, which our tour guide said are part of a national park. With more time I would love to take a hike through the forest and see what other great views are over the next ridge, which would undoubtedly be less crowded (there was a high school age group there when we visited, and the actual 'chair' area is kind of small).

Even if Phillip II didn't use this chair, it's worth to believe so.
Sitting on this chair you will feel you are the greatest king of the Spanish Empire supervising the construction of your palace.
But it's not only about power, it's also about walking and enjoying one of the best autumn sceneries of the Guadarrama National Park.
Specially in Halloween you can have around El Castañar, with your kids, a walk at night time to collect chestnuts from an old lady.
This is an short but beautiful walk.

The surrounding view from the chairs is beautiful and full of green. If you're not interested in nature or mountain, then maybe it's not for you.

Yes, I was eating alot. Yes, I was sitting on planes, cars and busses. So who's not going to want to get a bit of a sweat on and climb a pleasant 2 miles up to a vista point? I wanted to do it for the exercise, but the vista - once up there - was totally amazing. You could see all the way into Madrid, as well as the lovely town of El Escorial. Not sure how to find it except to look for the "La Silla" signs - we parked at the bottom and walked up. Got there at 11am to beat the heat and crowds. As we were coming down around 12:30 crowds (families with picnics) and heat were arriving in spades.
