Additional Information

Experience two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a single day with our comprehensive full-day tour starting from Madrid.

Explore Spain’s rich heritage at the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Constructed between 1563 and 1586 to honor the Spanish victory at the Battle of San Quintín in 1557, El Escorial is a testament to the rule of Felipe II. This versatile complex, a monastery, basilica, pantheon, palace, school, and library, was honored as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.

On the other hand, Segovia is teeming with romance and an echo of the bygone era. Dating back to the Roman period in 80 BC, Segovia’s fascinating heritage is showcased in an ancient aqueduct, a castle reminiscent of fairy-tales, Europe’s final Gothic cathedral, Romanesque churches, and enigmatic monasteries. The cultural richness of Segovia was recognized by UNESCO in 1985.

These hidden treasures are not to be missed and are sure to leave an unforgettable impression!
