Valley of the Fallen

The Valley of the Fallen is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the Community of Madrid. If you get the chance, go visit it.

  

Valley of the Fallen:

This is a view from a mountain top in the sierra just north of the Valley of the Fallen. It takes 4 or 5 hours to walk up here from there and another hour or two to walk to the monument from the bus stop on the nearby road. You can also park your car up behind me about 30 minutes' walk from here.

A student of mine gave me these photos from a vantage point on a nearby trail. Thank you Patrick. (The last one in the series is mine.)
