Madrid, Spain 2015-2016
June 5th
El Escorial Monastery
El Escorial was the historical residence of the king of Spain and today is a monastery, museum, school and royal palace. We went on a beautiful sunny day and were very impressed by the charming town and magnificent building and gardens! It is about one hour away from Madrid, making it a perfect day trip!
