San Lorenzo de El Escorial is a small town 50 kilometres northwest of Madrid in the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama, built up around the Royal Monastery of El Escorial — one of the great architectural achievements of the Renaissance in Spain. Built under Philip II between 1563 and 1584, this vast complex of palace, monastery, basilica, royal pantheon and library is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain's most visited cultural monuments. The town itself is pleasant, with a well-preserved historic centre, and the surrounding Sierra de Guadarrama national park offers excellent walking and cycling. Madrid is 50 minutes by road or under an hour by the Cercanías train.
Credit card or deposit
Most rentals require a credit card for the security hold. Debit cards are accepted on no-deposit rates — select that option when searching on the site.

There is a large free car park on the outskirts of the town near the monastery access road. Street parking in the town centre is limited and can be restricted near the monastery. The car park on Calle Floridablanca is the most convenient for visiting the monastery.
