Aranjuez and La Granja are different Palaces. The Church in which she and her husband are buried is the Church of the Palace La Granja.

Felipe V strangely was not buried at the El Escorial in Madrid but instead at the Collegiate Church of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Segovia.

Despite being married to the Queen Regnant of Aragon I don't believe Ramón was given the title of king.
After his death the County of Barcelona was merged with the Crown of Aragon.

His remains are buried at Santa Maria de Ripoll which was the mausoleum for the Counts of Barcelona.

The king is buried not at the El Escorial but instead at the Convent of the Salesas Reales in Madrid.
The convent was founded by his wife Barbara de Braganza who is also buried there.
