El Escorial bicycle tours


Meeting point at Bravo Bike's office on calle Juan Alvarez Mendizabal, number 19, street level and transfer by van to El Escorial (1h drive) where we will visit the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial founded by King Philip II. The cultural tour starts at the new art museum where we can admire paintings of El Greco, Rubens, Van Dyk, Tintoretto,Titian's Last Supper or Tibaldi's frescoes, just to mention a few artists of this outstanding collection. Afterwards, we will see the house of the king, the mausoleum or pantheon, the basilica and finally the outstanding royal library where more than 40000 editions of Latin, Greek, Arabic and Hebrew manuscripts are still exposed.

The Bike tour begins with a visit to the "Casita del Principe". From there we will climb to the chair of Phillip II carved in the rock. Later, we will pedal on easy dirt trails to the nearby village of Zarzalejo where we have a good three course lunch, drinks included. From there, we enjoy some more bicycling back to El Escorial. Transfer by minibus back to the hotels in Madrid.
