Overview

Ruralta runs this electric bike ride out of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, and it covers a lot of ground for a tour that lasts 2.5 hours. You meet at the Infante House Roundabout parking area on Paseo Carlos III, get set up with an electric bike and helmet, and follow an accompanying guide through the town and into the surrounding countryside.

The route strings together the monastery quarter and the countryside beyond it. There are stops at the Lonja del Monasterio, the Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, and Casa del Principe, then the ride heads out through the Bosque de la Herreria to La Silla de Felipe II before looping back to the same meeting point. Admission at the stops is free, so nothing on the route costs extra to enter.

The group is capped at 13 travellers and the pace adapts to whoever shows up, though the guide expects everyone to ride a bike safely. Expect dirt roads, small slopes, and some sections shared with other users. A guide, the bike, the helmet, and liability and accident insurance are all included. You handle your own transport to the meeting point, your own food and drink, and your own kit.
