Description
You will travel aboard the Mercedes V Minivan, the most luxurious minivan on the market. With up to 7 seats, it features reclining leather seats and dual-zone climate control. In this private tour, once the pickup point has been selected, we will first head to San Lorenzo de El Escorial, where you can enjoy the town and the beauty of its monastery. Then, we will take a 15-minute journey to the Valley of the Fallen. El Escorial, or the Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is a historical residence of the King of Spain located in the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, 2.06 kilometres (1.28 mi) up the valley from the town of El Escorial and about 28 mi northwest of the Spanish capital Madrid. Built between 1563 and 1584 by order of King Philip II (who reigned 1556–1598), El Escorial is the largest Renaissance building in the world. It is one of the Spanish royal sites and functions as a monastery, basilica, royal palace, pantheon, library, museum, university, school, and hospital. The Valley of Cuelgamuros, formerly known as Valley of the Fallen (Spanish: Valle de los Caídos), is a monument in the Sierra de Guadarrama, near Madrid. The valley contains a Catholic basilica and a monumental memorial in the municipality of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Dictator Francisco Franco ordered the construction of the monumental site in 1940; it was built from 1940 to 1958, and opened in 1959. Franco said that the monument was intended as a 'national act of atonement' and reconciliation. The site served as Franco's burial place from his death in November 1975, although it was not originally intended that he be buried there, until his exhumation on 24 October 2019 following a long and controversial legal process, due to moves to remove all public veneration of his dictatorship.Includes
