(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Real Sitio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial
Step into a place of legends and legacy — the Royal Monastery of El Escorial, a symbol of Spain’s imperial power and deep spirituality. Nestled in the mountains, this 16th-century UNESCO site was built by King Philip II as a royal palace, monastery, and royal pantheon. Walk through majestic halls, the awe-inspiring basilica, and the solemn Royal Pantheon where kings rest in silence. Discover the mysterious Library, home to ancient manuscripts and celestial artwork, and feel the echoes of faith and discipline in the monks’ quarters. With your expert guide, unlock the secrets of this monumental complex that still fascinates travelers from around the world. A journey not just through architecture — but through time.
Segovia
After El Escorial, your journey continues to magical Segovia, a city that feels straight out of a fairy tale. Begin with a panoramic drive through its stunning surroundings and skyline, where ancient stone meets timeless beauty. From the rolling hills, catch breathtaking views of Segovia’s iconic landmarks — the towering Alcázar, the elegant cathedral spire, and the majestic Roman aqueduct cutting across the horizon. Your guide will bring the city’s past to life as you glimpse centuries of history layered in its architecture. It’s the perfect introduction to a city where every corner holds a story, and every view feels like a painting.
Alcazar of Segovia
Step inside the Alcázar of Segovia, one of Spain’s most striking castles — and perhaps its most legendary. Perched dramatically on a rocky cliff, this fortress looks like it leapt from the pages of a fairy tale. With its pointed towers and grand halls, it’s said to have inspired Walt Disney himself. As you explore with your guide, uncover stories of kings, queens, and epic battles. Walk through the Throne Room, the Hall of Kings, and climb the tower for breathtaking views over the Castilian landscape. The Alcázar is not just a castle — it’s a living symbol of medieval power and mystery.
