?En la vastedad de mis dominios no busco expansiones sino mejora?, decía Felipe II, un monarca que plasmó su visión del mundo no sólo en los territorios que gobernó, sino también en la serie de palacios y jardines que construyo alrededor de Madrid, como la Casa de Campo, Aranjuez, El Pardo o Valsain. Entre estos se encuentra el Parque de la Fresneda, conocido como La Granjilla. Esta obra de Felipe II, diseñada para su descanso y disfrute, se ha visto revitalizada gracias a los esfuerzos de Santiago Aguirre Gil de Biedma y Maria Aviles, quienes, con una enorme dedicacion, han liderado una restauracion meticulosa y apasionada. Tras años de trabajos costosos y complejos, este emblematico sitio ha recobrado su esplendor renacentista, demostrando que el arte y la naturaleza son un refugio eterno de belleza y paz. Este libro recorre la historia y la restauracion de La Granjilla, explorando la interaccion entre la vision historica de un rey y la moderna pasion por preservar su obra.
