Royal Palace of Aranjuez,



Hi people!

This Royal Palace is located in the town of Aranjuez very close of Madrid and is open to the public. The palace gardens were declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2001.

You'll be surprise with the lavish decor of the rooms and private rooms of the royal palace.
You must go through its famous gardens, at least for the Parterre and the garden of the island, which are next to the Palace.

If you have time, you can get closer to the extensive gardens of the Prince where, on the one hand, you can see the Royal Pier on the River Tajo, used by Fernando VI, which is located next to the Museum of Royal Barges, where Weird real boats are preserved from the seventeenth century.

Also you can visit the Royal Pavilion built by Charles IV known as the Casa del Labrador, close to it, is the garden Chinesca de Villanueva.
