What to expect

The Monastery of El Escorial was built under the reign of the powerful King Philip II as a residence for the Spanish kings. Used also as a monastery and pantheon for the royal family, it became a symbol of the great power of the Spanish empire on the time. The monument was declared of artistic and historic interest, and inscribed in the Unesco World Heritage Sites list. The tour include the visit to the Monastery, the Cloister of the Four Evangelists, the Palace of Philip II, the Pantheons of the Royal Family, the Chapterhouses, and the Basilica. The Valley of the Fallen is a monument built as a memorial of those who died during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Located in a beautiful valley in the Mountains of Guadarrama, this impressive work has a colossal cross over 150 m high. Here you will also see the Basilica and Crypt carved into hard rock under the mountain. This tour includes the entrance to the Valley and the visit inside the Basilica.

After approximately an hour of walking, upon arrival, the guide will receive the group to take a panoramic view of the city from the Mirador del Valle and obtain the perfect photo of the city. After that, we will start with the walk through the old town, which will give you the necessary information so that later you can explore the city on your own until the time of return to Madrid. We'll also visit a typical factory of Damasquino, the well-known handicraft art of the city of Toledo.
