Southern Madrid

Travel Guide

The old Royal Palace in Aranjuez to the south of Madrid.
Planned in 1750, part of the original town square.
Nice place for a restaurant 180911
Historical, romantic, enchanted
If you really want to be taken back in time, visit this little town and be sure to eat a delicious lemon cookie from the bakery (okay...eat two...one for me! ).

I highly recommend you go up to the roof top terrace to see the view (free for hotel guests). Also, the breakfast is really good. Such a great way to start the day before exploring the city. I strongly suggest choosing this option when you book.
