About Aranjuez

This city's strategic placement at the confluence of two rivers, location between the cities of Madrid and Toledo, and extremely fertile soil has long made it a desirable home for royalty. A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, Aranjuez was dominated by the Royal Court and for many years only its members were allowed access into the town. The Royal Palace is splendid and must be seen to be believed. The first bull ring built in Spain is located here, as are numerous palaces that once housed royalty. The city's many gardens, parks, and palaces serve as reminders of Spain's powerful past.
