Aranjuez began to take shape as a royal site with Philip 2nd and the Bourbons. It was they who planned the city, its parks and gardens and the irrigation network which turned the landscape into the appropriate site for holding court in springtime every year until 1890. Monarchs had different favourite pastimes; Philip 5 was inclined to music while Barbara of Braganza enjoyed boating on the Tagus and all monarchs favoured hunting , the royal pastime due to the abundance of game.
It is easy to appreciate that Aranjuez was and still is an ideal place for enjoyment and relaxing.
