What To Expect

The tour begins with a guided visit to the Royal Monastery of El Escorial, a UNESCO World Heritage with fast-track access which Philip II ordered to be built as a Royal Residence and Royal Pantheon. Symbol of the greatness of the Spanish Empire, the palace-monastery complex is an impressive construction of great historical-artistic and architectural value that houses jewels such as the Basilica, the Pantheon, the Royal Library or the palatial quarters occupied by the different reigning dynasties.
Continuing our route to the nearby Valley of Cuelgamuros where the highest Christian cross in the world (150 metres) announces the location of the Valley of the Fallen, an extraordinary and controversial work of architecture, sculpture and engineering erected in honour of the fallen in the Civil War in Spain. We visit the interior of the basilica carved into the rock and admire the grandeur of the monumental complex and the natural scenery that surrounds it
