Palacio Real in Aranjuez

We spent a day in Chinchón and on the way back to Madrid we stopped by Aranjuez. I was told that the Palacio Real & Gardens were awesome and I agree. The Palacio Real started as one of Felipe II's modest summer places! but hey, has more than 300 rooms :) It seems to be that it was inspired by Versailles. I didnt go inside so i have no idea how it is....
But even more impressive are the gardens. They are very well conserved and I would recommed to you to spend an hour walking along the gardens.... quite incredible!

And dont miss a nice lunch there! it is typical to have "espárragos" and "fresones con nata". I attached a review from the restaurant we went to.

Spend 4-5 hours inluding a lunch!
The food was quite good, and the placement superb! it is next to the river Tajo. They have a small terrace next to the river! They have a menu for 25 euros quite good. It is typical to have "Espárragos" and "Fresones con nata".
