El Escorial is
located about 41kms. to the northwest of
Madrid's center, near the Sierra de
Guadarrama. The primary tourist attraction is
the palace/monastery complex of "San Lorenzo".
On leaving the monastery we were
ready for a refreshment and snack, so we spent a
few minutes exploring the town before heading
back to the bus station. We ended up at an open
air cafe, where it seemed to take forever to get
a drink. Consequently we opted to forgo the snack.
As we headed back in to
the center of town from the monastery, we stumbled
across a new and used shop to explore.
