  • Take a side trip and drive to the lovely Valley of the Fallen - a trip worth taking! Noticed the awesome looking Cross (see pic below) located high above the hills? Well, the body of the late Spanish dictator, General Franco is buried just beneath it..

  • You must not miss visiting the lovely El Escorial, the lovely royal burial grounds. There is a huge mausoleum here inside the palace (see pic below) containing the bodies of the Kings, Queens and royal infant babies. Believe me, it is beautiful. You can combine your trip to the Valley of the Fallen with the El Escorial.
