  • Route “East”: visit to the Pardo Palace the morning and visit to the Aranjuez Palace the afternoon. Barajas castle and Capricho Park are therefore cancelled.
  • Route “America”: Romanticism National Museum.
  • Route “Independence”: visit to Cerralbo museum the morning - for the clients not willing to visit the Air Force museum - and Lázaro Galdeano museum the afternoon.
  • Route “Institutions”: visit to the Prado museum, with a general visit, mixing A and B visit types.

The excursions out of the city of Madrid, unless advised by the Traffic authorities not to use the roads, would be upheld as an important part of such could be done under cover (either because the visit of a museum has been planned either because there are other museums likely to be visited).

6. In the event of a closure of the Royal Palace by official events, the Pardo Palace would be visited instead, being this one replaced by a visit to the Aranjuez Palace.

7. Riofrío and Granja de San Ildefonso Palaces are considered as alternative visits in the event of closure of Royal and Pardo Palaces (exceptional case when both are closed for official acts and/or use as official residence).
