The view of the surrounding area. |
The Riofrío Royal Palace - Palacio Real de Riofrío was a little underwhelming though we did not actually enter the palace. It's known as the "little brother" of La Granja and it's well worth visiting if you are in the area. There are a few walking trails and a nice open and partially wooded area next to the palace. It's a great place to have a picnic and stretch your legs. We were also attracted to the grounds due to the possibility of seeing Roe Deer (corzo [Capreolus capreolus]) and European fallow deer (gamo [Dama dama]). We did manage to see some Roe Deer on our way out and apparently it's not uncommon to see them rather close around the actual palace.
We took a short walk around the grounds and it was a good stop over for us during our Segovia day tour.
