2 questions actually...
Can you store luggage at either train or bus station?
I'd like to go from madrid to el escorial briefly before I go on to 2 nights in Segovia.
As it seems I can't manage that without going back to madrid and then to segovia (alot of travel time)
does anyone know what a TAXI from El Escorial to Segovia would cost?
It's only about 30 miles between the two cities....frustrating, isn't it. Cab fares are cheap in Spain, but the driver may want compensation for having to make the empty return trip from a one-way journey like that. If you use the Cercanias commuter trains, you actually only have to come back to the Madrid suburb of Villalba and switch there. Train line C8-A runs to El Escorial then up to Avila, while C8-B runs to Segovia....they split at Villalba. Check at the Madrid train station you leave from to ensure a good connection. Sorry, have never seen left luggage spots there.
