What to expect

Enjoy your visit through the Royal Monastery of El Escorial, an architectural ensemble declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Built in the 16th century, it is a symbol of the power of the government at the time. Accompanied by your guide, you'll discover the most important areas of the monument. You'll marvel at the building symmetry and renaissance style, as you walk along the site visiting the Habsburg’s Palace, the Chapter House, the Basilica and the remarkable library.

If you have chosen the option with a visit to the Valley of the Fallen, you'll get back on the bus for the short journey to the next destination. The Valley of the Fallen is located 9 km away from El Escorial, in Sierra de Guadarrama. You'll be able to see it from far away thanks to the monumental cross built above the site. The monument is an underground church built into the mountain and is topped by the world’s largest cross, which can be seen from miles away.
