Taxis

The taxi drivers’ union offers those visiting San Lorenzo de El Escorial the chance to take in a number of sites of interest outside the urban centre.

They can take you on outings to the Seat of Felipe II, the Valley of the Fallen, the Insectpark Nature Centre and the Green Cross, as well as trips to such nearby towns and cities as La Granja de San Ildefonso, Avila and Segovia.

Taxi ranks:

• Calle Floridablanca (on corner of Plaza de Nuestra Señora de la Virgen de Gracia). Tel. 918 901 717.
• Calle Juan de Toledo (opposite bus station).
