Madrid's lavish Royal Palace, flamenco dancers, El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen

The Majesty of Madrid Rick Steves' Europe

Premiered September 04, 2004
The Majesty of Madrid

Madrid is studded with riches from its glory days. We tour the lavish Royal Palace, enjoy art-packed museums, and look deep into Picasso's greatest masterpiece. Experiencing Madrid at its fun-loving best, we're mesmerized by flamenco dancers and munch on pigs' ears. Then, for a dose of Spain's dramatic history, we side-trip to El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen.
