Itinerary

1. Real Sitio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial
We will start our visit at El Escorial, symbol of the Spanish power in the XVI century that commemorates the battle of St. Quentin. It is also mausoleum for Charles V. Due to the symmetry and balance of its construction, according to the humanist Renaissance style, for years it had been considered for years the eighth wonder of the world. The visit includes the Habsburg Palace, the Kings and Princes Mausoleum, the Chapter House and the Basilica.
Duration: 150 mins
2. Valley of the Fallen
Located 9 km away from El Escorial, this enormous monument was built between 1940 and 1959 to honor the fallen during the Spanish Civil War. The basilica is carved into the mountain at 1350 meters of altitude, where an impressive 150 meters high cross places itself over the magnificent landscape of Madrid’s mountain range.
Duration: 150 mins

Regístrate en nuestra oficina en el centro de Madrid quince minutos antes de la salida de tu tour y dirígete a Toledo con tu guía local. Sigue a tu guía local en un recorrido a pie por la ciudad histórica de Toledo, ciudad Patrimonio Mundial de la Humanidad desde 1986. Una vez capital de España, es una mezcla espectacular de culturas árabe, judía y cristiana. Conoce su fantástico patrimonio y descubre cómo la coexistencia de culturas a través de los siglos influyó en su estilo arquitectónico actual.
