Valle de los Caidos






One of my favorite places in Spain is the Valley of the Fallen. This is the place where Francisco Franco built a giant cross on top of a mountain that can be seen for miles. Underneath the cross is a huge basilica built into the mountain. Franco is buried here along with thousands of soldiers who died in the Civil War. It's an amazing place full of history - sorry I don't have pictures of the inside. I guess you'll just have to visit yourself.
