Prado Nuevo, Religious property in El Escorial, Spain
Prado Nuevo is a religious property in El Escorial featuring a granite fountain, religious structures, and a notable ash tree on its grounds. The site sits near Madrid's mountains and combines natural landscape elements with buildings designed for spiritual purposes.
The property gained attention in 1981 when a vision was first reported at the location. This event led to the development of the site as a place of pilgrimage and increasing visits from believers.
The property serves as a gathering place for Catholics who come to pray and participate in religious ceremonies throughout the year. A Way of the Cross path winds through the grounds, creating dedicated prayer areas where visitors can reflect and observe local devotional practices.
The site offers parking areas and a visitor center with restrooms and seating areas for rest. Walking paths on the property are easy to navigate and accessible for visitors with varying mobility levels.
An ash tree on the grounds survived an intentional fire in the 1990s and remains a central symbol of the property. The tree attracts visitors who view its survival as part of the site's story.
