Andy Rodker's photos with the keyword: Zarzalejo Estación

It's in the 'new' town of Zarzalejo Estación, about a mile and a half from the ancient village of Zarzalejo up the road. Behind is the hill of La Machota Chica, a great pile of granite boulders. All very near the great palace of EL Escorial which I always include in the same walk (not least beacause it is the nearest bus station from Madrid). 5 minutes earlier, the congregation, followed by the priest who locked up after all had left, filed out at the end of Sunday's midday mass.

Well it's actually the church in Zarzalejo Estación, not the old village further up the hill and a mile or so away. I think it's a pleasant looking church. I might even have a look inside one day! La Machota Chica is the outcrop behind it.
