Just 47 km from Madrid —with easy access from the center by train, bus and car— awaits La Casita del Príncipe, a spectacular neoclassical palace surrounded by royal gardens and a large forest. It is one of the residences of the royal family built in the eighteenth century —the same century in which it is considered that flamenco was born in Andalusia— commissioned by King Carlos III to Juan de Villanueva, court architect responsible for combining the Italian memories of the enlightened monarch with the Herrerian style of the environment.

And, while in the south of Spain was establishing one of our most important hallmarks of identity, currently declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity according to UNESCO, the Flamenco, in Madrid, a monumental building surrounded by beautiful gardens was being built, inspired by the French fashion of the "trianons", "bagatelles" or "casinos", in Spanish, as a recreational space for the son of the monarch, the future Charles IV, and his wife Maria Luisa of Parma.
