Jump to Comments

Yes I got to admit El Escorial is the lesser popular tourist destination like the others. Yet, it could make your travel vacation for those who had visited it says it is one of the bests in Madrid Travel. The municipality can also give you the best pictures and and scenes. several really good travel and sightseeing is done here.

One of the really good destination within the municipality is the monasterio de el escorial. Describe as the simplest construction in the Madrid architecture but the holistic impact is so severe; the nobility is very much present with the absence of arrogance; magnanimously majestic with no ostentation. This structure alone deserves a standing ovation. The monastery alone is bursting with so many history more than enough for a day of sightseeing perhaps. One of the greatest joyride stop over in a decade of travel. The architecture museum, Painting Museum, Palace of Felipe II, Gallery of Battles, Palace of the Bourbons, Royal Pantheon, Main Staircase and Lower Cloister, Basilica and the library, which pictures appears here, are the main attractions inside the monasterio de el escorial. Paying for 8 Euros you will not only glimpse but time travel inside the monastery.

One former royal residence, San Lorenzo de El Escorial is the location of the famous monastery we were talking about. Yet travel to this part of Madrid should go beyond to a thorough visit of the monastery. Royal Woods surely woos an intelligent eye of a wanderer as it was also surrounded by building built by past rulers like Carlos III. Casita del Principe and House of the Infante are two of the proofs of Spanish power and grandeur during that time.

El Escorial is surely a hundred percent beautiful day trip in your lifetime. I know there is more in el Escorial than meets the eye. What can you say about El Escorial?
