The Old Shepherds Hut, El Escorial
Watercolour, 26cm x 18cm (10 × 7 inches), Unframed
The nearest mountain escape from Madrid, by car, is probably the Silla de Felipe II, where Philip II would stop on his way to El Escorial to view the building work on his magnificent palace from a strategic viewpoint. We go often, to climb up to the Machota peaks just above. Half-way up you reach this ruined Shepherds hut, hewn from massive rocks of granite, like the Palace itself far below. Painted plein air.
