I loved its gardens. They have a different aura than Versalles but it'd equally beautiful. The small town surrounding the Royal Palace is lovely as well.
I am not a tapestry fan therefore I couldn't enjoy this part of the exposition. Nevertheless, it's interesting to see this different kind of art and the details entailed. Overall, I wouldn't pay for the ticket again but I would definitely walk around the gardens.
The palace itself is not as clean or big or detailed as others, but the gardens are comparable to Versailles. Even without the water show, it was an absolute glorious walk through the gardens. With the student discount, it was well worth the price of admission.
The palace itself has many rooms, and with so little people going here you will often find yourself alone in a room to take everything in.
Another beautiful Spanish palace. Not as ornate as the Royal palace of Madrid. Make sure to take plenty of time to wander in the gardens
Interesting tapestries to see inside. Warning for togs out there: no possibility to take any picture inside the castle. No big deal for the tapestries nor the paintings but could be interesting for the fountains and the sculpture. The garden is lovely with fountains and reminds Versailles for sure. Because of the photo policy I just can't give a great mark here sorry.
The gardens are fantastic. Worth the entry fee alone. The palace exterior is beautiful. We found parking easy in local streets. There are no facilities at all to purchase a drink so on a hot day take fluid with you. Worth the drive from Madrid which is roughly 90 KM. There is a toll each way of 8.25 Euros. Roads were a pleasure to drive on.
Beautiful sequoias
Very beautiful park. I'd recommend to go in the spring/summer, as the plants and trees will be green and the park will be more lively.
The gardens were gorgeous in the snow. Definitely visit El Mar!
Not sure what happend but i visited the palace after 3 years and its in TERRIBLE STATE!!! The garden which was amazingly beautiful is now looking abandoned. No fountain is working. grass starts to cover the pools. What a shame.
The palace itself is almost OK but the gardens are great.
