Gardens and Palaces

by SirRichard - last update: Jun 29, 2003

One of the closest Madrid's daytrips

The Royal Palace
Aranjuez is very close to Madrid, just 30 minutes by train.
It has been summer palace of many spanish kings and queens, and have the best woods and gardens around Madrid.
Built by the shore of the Tajo River, it's a refreshing getaway from Madrid's rush and heat...

The gardens

There are 2 main gardens here:
- Prince gardens
- Island gardens
Both are huge and green, and make a very nice place for a relaxing walk. You would never believe you are in the dry Castilla plain...

Nice scenery

The Royal Place is surrounded by magnificient gardens. The best time to visit is obviously in spring, when gardens are at its best and the heat is not too extreme.
But in autumn you can enjoy its redish foliage too...

 Aranjuez, un lugar de suenos y amor. Nice page. I liked the fountain photos.

 Wonderful page with lots of helpful information. I'm sorry I saw so little of Aranjuez on my one very brief visit. It's hard to think of Aranjuez without hearing J. Rodrigo's symphonic masterpiece in my mind...
