Just 25 minutes from down town

As we keep going around curious places in town, this week we just jump from south east to north west.

There we will find a place call "El Escorial", is a historical residence of the king of Spain from the year 1584, year that it was completed.

This is surrender for a mountain range on the back and fresh air comes in summer through them making our visit a perfect moment, I recommend you to have dinner at night in the village that is just across from the palace, where there are little but really nice restaurants.

If you have time enough it would be a great idea to take a twisty road for 2 miles and go all the way to the top of a hill that is just behind "Silla de Felipe II", with that little ride you can get the perfect view of all the Madrid county area making it a perfect place to read a book in the daylight or to have a beer at night.
