This Castilian
town, at a confluence of the Tagus and Jarama Rivers, was once home
to Bourbon kings in the spring and fall. With the manicured
shrubbery, stately elms, fountains, and statues of the Palacio Real
and surrounding compounds, Aranjuez remains a regal garden oasis in
what is otherwise an unimpressive agricultural flatland known
primarily for its strawberries and asparagus. |
