Embark on a comprehensive tour from Madrid to discover three of Spain's most emblematic sites. Start your day with a visit to the Escorial Monastery, an impressive 16th-century building that served as a royal residence, monastery and pantheon for the kings of Spain. Admire its Renaissance architecture, explore its impressive rooms and discover the rich history that lies within.

Continue your journey to the Valley of the Fallen, a memorial built to honour the fallen during the Spanish Civil War. Take in the majesty of the basilica carved into the mountain and marvel at the imposing 150-metre-high cross that towers over the landscape. Learn about the controversial history of this place as you explore its sacred spaces.

After visiting the Valley of the Fallen, head to the charming city of Segovia, known for its impressive Roman aqueduct and beautiful castle. Stroll through the narrow streets of the city, admire the medieval architecture and discover the history hidden in every corner. Visit the famous Alcázar of Segovia, a castle-fortress that will take you back to the time of knights and princesses.

Throughout the tour, you will be accompanied by an expert guide who will provide you with detailed and fascinating information about each destination. You will learn about the history, culture and architecture of these places, enriching your experience and your understanding of Spanish heritage.

    What a full day! The Monastery of El Escorial left me speechless and the history of the Valley of the Fallen is something you can't miss. Segovia, with its aqueduct and suckling pig, was the icing on the cake.
