Empezaremos la visita en El Escorial, símbolo del poderío español del siglo XVI, que conmemora la Batalla de San Quintín y es el Panteón de los restos del Emperador Carlos V. Su construcción fue regida por la razón, la simetría y el equilibrio, y guarda los grandes exponentes del humanismo renacentista. Por esta razón, durante años fue considerado la octava maravilla del mundo. La visita incluye El Palacio de los Austrias, el Panteón de Los Reyes e Infantes, la Sala Capitular y la Basílica. A 9 km de El Escorial se encuentra la siguiente parada de nuestra visita: la basílica del Valle de los Caídos. Construida entre 1940 y 1959 para honrar a los españoles que murieron durante la Guerra Civil, esta grandiosa construcción está excavada en la montaña a 1350 m sobre el nivel del mar. En ella, una impresionante cruz de 150 m de altura se erige sobre el magnífico paraje natural de la sierra madrileña.
