Loved it!!! Be sure to have a guidebook with you or rent a audioguide (I hate audioguides, there just a way to make more money and an excuse not to place decent explanatory placques or whatever on the site for people who don't have the money to pay for an audioguide 3-4 times a day) because otherwise you are going to miss so much. I couldn't find any decent map inside so be warned. Anyway the palace itself is amazing. You could easily spend a whole morning here wandering around. Make sure you come early because it can get crowded soon.
The gardens are at the end of the tour and are so big and beautifull it makes them just the perfect place for a picnic.

Absolutely gorgeous place to visit! It was definitely the highlight of my trip to Spain. Make sure to keep a pretty vast block of time open for this, there is tons to see and explore
