One of the residences of the Spanish royal family, located on the banks of the Tagus River. Your visit inside is essential. I recommend opting for the guided tour since you access rooms that are not normally open to the general public. In addition, it is worth visiting the surrounding gardens.

An exhibition shows the history of the royal family and the rooms in which the royal family lived. The parks are partly beautifully shaded and nicely laid out. A day is over quickly. A nice trip.
