Abstract
After having exposed and analyzed the current situation of tourism activity in San Lorenzo de El Escorial from information collected from various sources, the main
problems will be identified to develop a diagnosis of tourism in the town. It is clear that these problems are an impediment to achieving sustainable tourism, and it is therefore
necessary for the various competent authorities to address their resolution as soon as possible and with success. If this is not the case, there is a danger that its consequences
will become chronic and that the survival of tourist activity in San Lorenzo de El Escorial will be endangered, as well as its current position as one of the most important tourist
destinations in the Community of Madrid.
