Madrid and El Escorial Monastery in One Day Tour (11 hours):
With your private guide, set off to see some of Madrid’s historical highlights. Stop to admire the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor, one of the city’s oldest squares. Admire the central statue of Philip II and graceful arcades of this beautiful expanse as your guide recounts its bloodstained history.
Afterward, leave Madrid for the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, located outside the city. This colossal, UNESCO-protected palace-church was built by King Philip II in 1584 as a royal residence and burial place, and is famous for its austere Renaissance beauty.
Discover the highlights of the majestic palace, museums and basilica with its pantheon of royal tombs, and learn how and why Philip had the complex built as a home and last resting place for his parents.
Later, finish your tour back in Madrid.
Avila and Salamanca Day Trip (12 hours):En route, chat to your private guide as you travel to Avila and Salamanca, two of Spain’s most enchanting historical cities.
In Avila, take a walking tour of the UNESO-listed center to see some of its star attractions. Discover the fortress-like Avila Cathedral and Basilica of St Vincent, home to the remarkable Shrine to St Vincent, and admire the still-intact 12th-century walls, complete with their crenelated towers and ornate gates.
Visit the gorgeous city of Salamanca, another of Spain’s medieval showpieces. With a UNESCO-listed heart built from honey-hued sandstone, this stunning city is best known for its 12th-century university, one of Europe’s oldest.
Explore the exquisite Plaza Mayor, considered the most impressive central square in Spain, and admire top Salamanca attractions including the New and Old Cathedral, Roman Bridge and the richly carved university entranceway.
