Visit with your tour guide. A visit to the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is the best way to explore the history of Spain and especially the reign of Felipe II. With an area of 33,327 square meters, it is located on the southern slope of Mount Abantos at an altitude of 1,028 meters in the Sierra del Guadarrama, which gives it a high landscape value. The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial has been on the list of World Heritage Sites since November 2, 1984.

We chose to take this private tour because all of the other tours include a stop at Valle de los Caídos, which is a monument built by prisoners of war for the fascist dictator Franco. I’m really disappointed that the tour operators continue to feature tours of that place. My grandfather was in one of Franco’s concentration camps and so I didn’t want to go to Valle de los Caídos. This tour was great. Our driver was very friendly. El Escorial is huge and there is a lot to see. It is a palace, a basilica and an art museum. I almost wish we could have spent more time there but we only had half a day for this excursion. Having a guide was helpful because of how much is there.
Thank you very much for your message. This is very important for us and for future travellers as well. Please let us know if you need anything else. We are at your full disposal. Thank you once again. The Tour Travel & More Team
