Itinerary
Step into Spain’s royal past on a half-day morning tour from Madrid, where history and grandeur unfold at every turn. This 5-hour sightseeing trip whisks you away to the monumental Monastery of El Escorial, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by King Philip II as a palace, monastery, and royal pantheon—a symbol of the Spanish Empire’s might and artistic legacy.
Your journey continues to the Valley of Cuelgamuros, a poignant memorial nestled in the Guadarrama Mountains. Here, you’ll marvel at the towering 150-meter cross and explore the basilica and crypt carved deep into the mountainside, honoring those lost in the Spanish Civil War. Admission is included, and you’ll have the unique opportunity to visit the basilica’s impressive interior.
