Located in the heart of the Sierra de Guadarrama, with its cobbled streets, its wonderful architecture, its privileged nature and a rich cultural offer... 47 km from Madrid -with easy access from the center by train, bus and car-, is a historic town with an inescapable charm, whose monuments exude an air of royalty, temperance and magnificence... This is San Lorenzo de El Escorial, the next place that will take your breath away.

Both San Lorenzo de El Escorial and its Monastery have been recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites since 1984. Standing in front of the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial imposes. Entering through its solemn gates feels like stepping through a portal to another era and even to another dimension. Its calm and serenity is contagious. During your visit the imperious need to keep silent arises so as not to miss any sensation when witnessing the 4,000 rooms that make up this building built between 1563 and 1584 by orders of King Philip II.
