Valle de los Caídos

This place is sick. After a tour of this palace in El Escorial and a leisurely lunch with at least a couple pitchers of sangria, we got back on the bus where I promptly passed out.  However, some period of time later I awoke to the amazing sight and views of El Valle de los Caídos.  That cross is massive and perched on the top of the mountain, with four of the largest sculptures of people I've ever seen on the corners of its base. Those arches in the back lead into an unbelievably large vaulted cathedral built inside the mountain with a enormous Dome in the middle right under the cross.  Its called Valle De Los Caídos because it was built by the people who were conquered and the prisoners after the Spanish Civil war.
