Description

Do you want to discover the most famous gardens and fountains in Spain? Did you know that in the Royal Site of La Granja de San Ildefonso there is the "little Versailles"?
A natural paradise of 140 hectares worthy of the first Bourbon, Philip V, and Queen Isabel of Farnese, which will take us through the world of classical mythology and the most impressive water games in the country.
Through an outdoor tour, children and adults will discover the myths and the reasons behind impressive aquatic sculptures as we stroll for 2-2.30 hours from the main entrance, among gardens, elms, horse chestnuts, linden trees, and even a natural maze.
The Jungle, The Horse Race, the New Cascade, The Fame, Diana's Bath, and up to 26 colossal fountains that surprise and entertain everyone while we breathe the fresh air of the Valsain mountains, Peñalara, etc.
Ah! And 3 days a year and on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons from Spring, get ready to get wet with a bit of luck, as several fountains are activated.
We will be transported to a world of heroes, gods, and goddesses that will make us follow their stories and mythological feats while we exercise healthily and savor the Segovian nature.
IMPORTANT NOTE: from Thursday, April 16 to July 30, several fountains are activated on Wednesday and Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings. For these occasions, it is necessary to purchase tickets in advance for access to the garden at:
Www.patrimonionacional.es/entradas/Segovia/La Granja/Fuentes. (see garden tour with fountains).
A healthy, family, and cultural adventure, with photos in a uniquely beautiful setting, is waiting for you, are you going to miss it? 
An architect and mythology specialist will show you the details that will make your visit to the royal gardens and forest different.
