The landscape show is not "El Escorial". El Escorial is a historical residence of the king of Spain. It is located in the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
More information see:

The landscape show "El Valle de los Caídos" (in English: Valley of the Fallen). Valley of the Fallen is a burial place. It is erected at Cuelgamuros Valley in the Sierra de Guadarrama.

The error may have caused because both places are located in in the municipality of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, about 45 kilometres (28 miles) northwest of the Spanish capital, Madrid.
Sincerely.
Hello kaliki,
many thanks for your informations! But I didn't know that the name of a landscape here in this forum has to fullfill exactly the wikipedia knowledge
Of course you are right with your correction, on the other hand I wrote "Real Monumento" and not only "El Escorial" ... so I forgot a comma and the add of San Lorenzo.
I'm very sorry about this
In the last years I visited 4 times these impressive and beautiful places and belive me I love this country ... I'm living here since 14 years
So my next landscape will be the "original" El Escorial ... the problem is to find a good picture with sky from hundreds of pics I made from the residence.
To show you and the other visitors how far the distance between the two places is:
- el escorial.JPG (53.89 KiB) Viewed 13033 times
It is 13 kilometers on street
- google earth.JPG (206.95 KiB) Viewed 13033 times
and minus 5 kilometers on air
Best greetings from the beautiful island of Mallorca
