Spain, Aranjuez
The Royal Palace is a palace and park ensemble that previously served as a summer residence for the Spanish kings, located south of Madrid in Aranjuez, on the banks of the Tagus River. The palace was built throughout the 17th century as a response to the French Versailles. The building is made in the Baroque style, along the facade there are sculptures of kings. Around the palace there is a landscape park with many fountains and alleys. On the territory of the residence there is a museum of "Palace Life", which tells about the daily life of kings.

The desire to visit Aranjuez appeared under the influence of Adagio from the “Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra” by Joaquin Rodrigo back in the 70s of the last century. Much later I heard the "Concert" completely performed by Narciso Iepes during his tour in the USSR. In 2010, I finally made an excursion to this Royal Residence in a group tour, but the opportunity to travel did not present itself until Monday, when the Royal Palace is closed to visitors. The story I posted on the travel agency forum was deleted in order to exclude the temptation for other tourists - “some began to allow themselves here! » On another independent trip to Spain, I started a series of my excursions from Madrid with a visit to Aranjuez.
