Cuadernos de campo 2024 - Javier Vallhonrat
Campo del Moro
In La Granja de San Ildefonso, the channelling, exploitation and enjoyment of water resources have been the main protagonists since its foundation and have marked the personality of the environment over the centuries, showing in a particularly beautiful way the wise human intervention in nature and the landscape.
The original hydraulic system is still in operation, which allows us to enjoy the fabulous water effects during the summer season, and channels the contributions of the streams of Morete, El Carnero, El Nevero, La Chorranca and Peñalara to the pond called El Mar, which regulates the supply and feeds the fountains characterised by their spectacular jets and water features.

The Cube - Royal Collections Gallery
This exhibition is completed with an original audiovisual creation by Javier Vallhonrat, whose editing and sound was done by Pablo Vallhonrat. This audiovisual is specifically conceived and produced for The Cube in the Royal Collections Gallery and it can be accessed through the Campo del Moro Gardens.
The audiovisual piece De arroyos, bosques y torrentes shows us, through delicate metaphors, the richness and uniqueness of the relationship between water and the natural environment in which it is integrated, as well as with the human elements that intervene in its use.
