Image of Soto del Real, not of the place itself.

Felipe II, who reigned between 1556 and 1598, granted the title of town to the place called Chozas, today Soto del Real, settled since the 10th and 11th centuries by shepherds who came from lands around Segovia; the name referred to the huts those herders built at the foot of the sierra.
