The Royal Monastery of El Escorial is the biggest in the world. it's the most representative building of the Spanish Renaissance and a symbol of the power of King Philip II. Built between 1563 and 1584, it holds many treasures: - The Basilic. It's the core of the complex. Its reliquary is the biggest in Chistianhood. - The Biblioteque. It holds many ancient books, many of them hand-written. The decoration is portentous. - The Palace of the Habsburgs. Designed for King Philip II, it reflects his austerity. From one of its rooms, there's a balcony facing the altar of the Basilic. - The Palace of the Bourbons. King Charles III remodelled part of the private rooms to the XVIII century style. - The Convent. It occupies the third southern part of the complex. - Salas Capitulares. Nowadays is a painting museum. - The Pantheon. Most Spanish Monarchs since the XVI century lie in this gorgeous pantheon.
I will pick you up at an agreed meeting point in Madrid and drive you in a rented vehicle until we arrive in San Lorenzo de El Escorial and start our tour. 1. - Visit the Monastery and its dependencies: Basilic, Bibliotheque, Cloister, Palace, etc. 2. - Go by car to the "Silla de Felipe II". It's a place on the other side of the valley. The King ordered the sculpting of two seats in the granitic rock to see the evolution of the construction of the Monastery. The views are splendid. 3. - Return to El Escorial and have a walk along the old town. As an option, I would suggest tasting a genuine hot chocolate with "picatostes" (fried bread), absolutely delicious! We'll return by car to your hotel in Madrid. This itinerary is customizable.
