Aranjuez is a small town located almost 50km south of Madrid, in the confluence of the Tagus and Jarama rivers. The Royal Palace of Aranjuez was completed in the 18th century as the residence of the King of Spain. The gardens of the Royal Palace are magical, with the fantastic Jardín de la Isla -a man made island-, the Jardín del Príncipe - with several miniature palaces.
