A palace charm

5.0022 € the full visit, palaces and gardens. Well worth it. And book online. The palace is a Rococo charm, especially the royal rooms, somewhat more modest than the guests. Eleven charming rooms full of fireplaces, paintings, sculptures and furniture, with frescoes on the ceilings and walls decorated with golden reliefs of delicate Rococo style. Numbered stays visited with an audio guide (also in Spanish) in approximately one hour. Before our visit time, you have to arrive exactly on time, we saw the kitchens, wine cellar and windmill. After the visit, a walk around the castle to admire the beautiful façade and the French gardens that descend into terraces with a main motif, the parras. Wine is one of the pleasures of the palace, it is also seen in the cellar. Then another walk to see other constructions, guest rooms and more endless gardens. Unfortunately, the Orangerie Palace was temporarily closed.
