I really enjoyed seeing El Escorial. In addition to holding one of the most beautiful libraries in the world, it has amazing art, a massive series of burial chambers, and a spectacular cathedral (including a crucifix of Jesus with real hair, which I don't think I've ever seen before). It goes on and on. There's a carefully marked path that visitors have to follow, and for good reason--it's quite possible that you could get lost and never find your way out. Oddly, there were hardly any other tourists at all. Everything is thoughtfully labeled in English.
