I took the bus 661from Moncloa Bus Terminal, and then walked 3’ to El Escorial, and entered at 10am when it opened. The place got VERY crowded so I was glad I came early. I rented the audio guide, clicked the option “3-hour audio guide extended tour” with the most perfect itinerary and excellent description of everything. You will visit: -the amazing library -the impressive church (Renaissance artists from Italy such as Federico Zuccari and Pellegrino Tibaldi were hired to decorate its interior, and there is even a marble crucifix by Cellini!) -the main cloister with the famous paining on the ceiling by Luca Giordano with the “Triumph of the Habsburgs,” the collection of paintings in the “capitular chamber” (Titian, El Greco, etc.) -the royal apartments (where the famous Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch used to hang together with some other 20 paintings by Bosch) -the mausolea with the royal tombs (including the tomb of Philip II and Charles V) -the hall of battles -the Bourbon apartments with an amazing collection of tapestries (the products of Royal Tapestry Factory in Madrid that you must visit!), -and the gardens. I took beautiful photos of the exterior of the Escorial. No photos allowed inside! You will explore the history of Spain’s Golden Age under the powerful Philip II, also known as “the Prudent.” He has great artistic taste and was the most influential ruler of the world during the Counter-Reformation. After or before the visit do not forget to have some Spanish food in the nearby “Tan Ricamente” as the ladies there cook themselves and it seems like eating at home.

A beautiful university, with an enormous amount of history, and symbolism. The guided tour is well worth the money, and should be done if you're in the area.

Having done the nou camp tour, which was excellent, this tour was high on my list to do whilst in Madrid. Bought tickets on line from the Real Madrid web site, cheaper than other sites. The ground is right next to the metro, so easy to find. This is not a guided tour and audio tour is extra. You are directed up a series of outside elevators, getting a view of Madrid, until you reach the top and go through to a fantastic view of the pitch/stadium from up high. Takes your breath away. The tour continues going through various rooms , history of the club, tribute to special players, a trophy room that goes on for ever, golden boot winners including Michael Owen, a special European Champions trophy room, changing rooms, conference room and others. You then walk around the stands until you reach pitch side with the dug outs..amazing views. All this is done at your own pace. Only downside is that you have no option but to queue a couple of times to have your picture taken, one with the champions league trophy, but luckily for us the tour wasn't busy so little waiting.

We went as a family to celebrate a birthday and it was the perfect choice. They have a big variety of rides for all ages, also lots of restaurants. We went there in peak season but the park is very spacious. We will be back in a month to celebrate another birthday :)
