Our check

What we established El Escorial: the official site is patrimonionacional.es. Its tickets are sold on tickets.patrimonionacional.es, part of the same site. Its Wikidata entry, Q28471, names the same official site. Our editor reviewed it and signed it off before it was listed, on .

What our tests checked We last tested the ticket link on : it answered over a secure connection and the page it opens offers tickets. That shows the link works; on its own, it does not prove who runs the site. We last read patrimonionacional.es for this page on .
