    Go for it!!! I study abroad when I was in college. I went to Madrid for 1 semester and stayed for 3 years BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. I toured many European countries/ cities, but Madrid adopted me. As they say, “DE MADRID A EL CIELO” which means, FROM MADRID TO HEAVEN! Salutations!

    El Escorial is not really a Palace. Its really a huge Monastery with small royal residence attached.

    It looks more impressive than the already impressive Royal Palace in Madrid. El Escorial seems analogous to Windsor Castle, which seems more impressive than Buckingham Palace.

    I love watching your show on PBS EX! You've inspired me to move to Spain when I'm 18! Madrid is one of my top living choices so far. I've fallen in love with Spain because of you! I've already began saving for my trip to Spain! :D

    Carlos I was a failure, he could’ve conquered France but was too weak.
