Madrid vacation rentals for Aranjuez, Rodrigo and a King’s Garden

In 1939 Joaquin Rodrigo, a composer of classical music, with his composition would help place Aranjuez on the world map as somewhere to spend your Madrid vacation rentals. The Concierto de Aranjuez is considered by many a pinnacle of Spanish music and was created Rodrigo a nearly blind composer. This may come as a surprise to some but the Valencian composer never mastered the guitar himself, although it was he that bought the instrument to the forefront and into the orchestral pits around the world. He wrote all his music in Braille which would be transcribed later. The piece was written, according to his wife, in memory of the miscarriage of their first born.
