El Escorial Day Trip from Madrid (San Lorenzo) | Narrated Walk

El Escorial Day Trip from Madrid (San Lorenzo) | Narrated Walk

El Escorial (Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial) is an easy day trip from Madrid. In this narrated walking tour, we visit the Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial: gardens, the monumental palace–monastery complex, and a relaxed town walk in San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

We show El Escorial in two faces: a stone “manifesto” of power and faith under Philip II, and a lived-in landscape where granite architecture becomes streets, plazas, and the calm rhythm of a mountain town at the foot of Mount Abantos (Sierra de Guadarrama).
