Aranjuez is a Royal town located in the southern part of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, which is one of the most important tourist destinations of Spain. Tourists who visit this town don鈥檛 miss the chance to visit the Palacio Real de Aranjuez where they admire its architecture as well as its large gardens.
Surfing the net, I have realized that the most important industries in this town refer to hotels and tourism since they are intrinsically related and Aranjuez, which is also famous because of its strawberries and was declared World Heritage Cultural Landscape by UNESCO, not only offers various attractions but also great landscapes.
There are wonderful hotels, restaurants and pubs that offer various entertainment options in Aranjuez but tourists usually go to the Tagus River where they enjoy practicing different sports such as canoeing. Other adventurers prefer skydiving in this town. You can also enjoy having dinner in the picnic areas next to the Tagus river.
There are other great attractions in Aranjuez such as: Isle Garden, pleasure craft Museum, Alpajes Church, House of Infantes and Atarfe, Isabella ll鈥檚 Garden, Prince’s Garden and Royal country Estate of Saint Isidro, among many others. Some locals recommend tourists to rent a car in Aranjuez in AranRent (91 925 132 067) or BeSmart (91 801 15 91), both are very good car rental companies. Remember that small shops as well as companies in Aranjuez usually don’t have multilingual personnel but you can sign p for intensive Spanish certified courses before visiting this destination.

Madrid is the capital city of Spain that has numerous tourist attractions and is a recognized cosmopolitan city that constantly receives tourists.
The Puerta de Europa towers are usually visited by tourists since they are imposing twin offices buildings that have become a must do in Madrid, the largest city in Spain.
Being designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee, the towers are named Torres Kio since they were commissioned by Kuwaut Investment Office in 1996. But, years later KIO sold these buildings because of the Torres KIO fraud case.
The Puerta de Europa towers are mentioned in a satanic comedy film in which interesting things about them are said.
They are close to Atudem and Pabell贸n de hielo.

Visit Madrid, one of the most outstanding tourist destination of Spain. There are many things to do in Madrid. We recommend visiting the Plaza de Cibeles, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum of Art, the Puerta del Sol, Madrid CF Bernab茅u Stadium, Buen Retiro Park, the Plaza Mayor, the Zoo Aquarium and El Rastro, which are some of the most visited places in Madrid. You will find multilingual people in many of those places, but you have the possibility to do intensive Spanish certified courses to fully enjoy your vacation.
