I studied history at the University of Alcalá and I am passionate about art, tourism and travel, as well as history. I have been in all the interesting cities and towns of the Community of Madrid, highlighting Alcalá, San Lorenzo de El Escorial and, above all, Aranjuez, for being a great place to disconnect and enjoy a good walk on a weekend. My desire to know the world has led me to travel much of Europe, from Portugal to Poland, from London to Sicily.

Tour description

This small-group tour is an excellent opportunity to discover the most beautiful city in the southern part of the Community of Madrid. Aranjuez was declared a Royal Site and Villa by the monarchs and a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

We'll start next to the majestic Royal Palace, located in the Plaza Elíptica. Along the way, I'll invite you to To imagine what life was like for the kings and their families, we'll walk through the gardens and monuments hidden along the grid-like layout of the city streets. This way, we'll enjoy a peaceful and special atmosphere , far from the hustle and bustle of a big city.

We'll also discuss the town's secrets and key events, such as the famous Mutiny of Aranjuez , which changed the course of Spanish history. We'll discover the hidden side of figures like Manuel Godoy and Alfonso XII, and how the city evolved into the special place it is today.

This tour is the only one in Aranjuez that:

- Capacity is limited to ensure a more intimate experience. We don't flock together.
- It covers much more than the typical tour of the palace and gardens. We wander around the streets and explore the soul of the city, showing off lesser-known sights.
- Allows last-minute additions.
