San Lorenzo de El Escorial is home to the Monastery of El Escorial, a World Heritage site. This huge complex was built as a monument to commemorate the Spanish victory over the French in the battle of Saint Quentin. Construction lasted 21 years and when it was finished in 1584, the Monastery was the largest building in the world, with 24 km (14.9 mi) of corridors. The building includes a library, Kings' Courtyard, Basilica, and the Palace of Felipe II. The Kings' Pantheon is the burial place for most of the kings of Spain since Carlos I. The Monastery is decorated with works by the most prominent Italian and Spanish painters of the time. Look for works by Titian, Bosch, El Greco, and Velázquez, especially El Greco’s painting of "The Martyrdom of St. Maurice.”

Algora is an elegant restaurant, simple and charming. Located in a renovated 1856 offers Spanish cuisine with special mention of fish, red meats and roasts. It also highlights the temporality of products such as hunting, mushrooms and vegetables. Peaceful

Overall we had a very good experience. We were there at 1pm for lunch that, by Spanish standards is very early. Although we had the restaurant to ourselves, service was a little slow albeit very courteous.Setting was refined but not pretentious, generous portions and good quality food. We tried various cuts of meat and were never disappointed. Also, they serve a good "cochinillo asado", I suggest you try it if you are not planning a trip to Segovia where it all started (well worth a trip to Segovia on its own. Never mind the Roman aqueduct).I hope you enjoy it, we did.

After an exhausting tour of the Escorial we were starving and really tired. We noticed their sign on the street that said kitchen open all day, which was great for us dumb Americans who never seem to know the right times to eat in Spain. First the staff are impeccable. Gracious, attentive, but not rushed. Our waiter was adorable and the host was lovely and was able to answer our questions in English about the menu. My husband had the duck, my son had the veal breaded cutlet and I had the bacalao. All of them were excellent. Wine, desserts and coffee followed. Everything was delicious, but what I loved most was the leisurely pace. I think this was the most peaceful place we ate our entire week in Spain.

Our Spanish friends brought us here for a celebration and we were not disappointed. The interior is lovely with high ceilings over 2 stories. We ordered many different dishes and shared them family style and with pitchers of Sangria. The croquettes, cochinillo aside, and solomillo were favorites (they picked).
