Valley of the Fallen
Valley of the Fallen is a Francoist regime monument, Catholic basilica and a monumental memorial in the municipality of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, erected at Cuelgamuros Valley in the Sierra de Guadarrama, near Madrid. Franco claimed that the monument was meant to be a "national act of atonement" and reconciliation. The construction works mainly involved free workers and a smaller, albeit significant, percentage of prisoners, these between 1942 and 1950, under the regime of redemption of sentences.
Real Sitio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial
San Lorenzo de El Escorial, also known as El Escorial de Arriba is a town and municipality in the Community of Madrid, Spain, located to the northwest of the region in the southeastern side of the Sierra de Guadarrama, at the foot of Mount Abantos and Las Machotas, 47 kilometres (29 mi) from Madrid. It is head of the same name judicial party. The settlement is popularly called El Escorial de Arriba, to differentiate it from the neighbouring village of El Escorial, also known as El Escorial de Abajo.

1.00I booked and paid for this excursion via Tripadvisor , but the only instructions I received for the departure point referred to "outside the commercial gallery (permanently closed) on Calle de San Bernardo". I searched the location on Google maps and arrived there 30 minutes before the departure time. However, having spoken with numerous local people, no one had ever heard of the gallery. I therefore missed the trip. Subsequently, I explained to the tour operators that the departure instructions were incorrect or inadequate, but they refused any refund.
Amazing experience
