Sumario:[EN] The current research aims for two main targets: firstly, to reconstruct the surroundings of the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, as well as the changes that it suffered within its establishment to the end of the 19th century. And secondly, to reveal the matches and contradictions in the documents about the territories depending on El Escorial. Our methodology is based upon the critical comparison between the written documents and the maps, drawings, and pictures located in the main Spanish and foreign archives. Due to the wide extent of the territories, and also to the lenght of the proposed research –about three hundred and fifty years–, the results of the research will be exposed in a series of articles. The current one focuses on the neighbouring environment of the monastery, on its main features and characteristics, within the site’s election to the end of the construction. The following studies will analyze the essential changes in the 18th century, as well as broader territories and estates belonging to the Monastery.
