Visit to El Escorial

May 13th. El Escorial visit with Grandpa

El Escorial has a huge monastery on top of the hill. It is actually divided up into the place for the public to view art which is where we went, the church, the monks quarters and a school. Again there are no pictures of the art in the building as Spain does not allow photography in its museums.


Billy proud to show off his birthday purchase - the Real Madrid jacket.

On the way to El Escorial we stopped for lunch in Villalba.

We had arrived at the top of the hill.
