Puerta de Alcala

Reviewed By Homfirth - Holmfirth, United Kingdom

This is considered to be the first modern post-Roman triumphal arch built in Europe even older than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. It was a gate in the former Walls of Felipe IV and stands near the main entrance to the Parque del Buen Retiro. Today it is in the centre of a very busy traffic intersection and it’s difficult to take photos because of the continual stream of traffic.

Valley of the Fallen

The Valley of the Fallen is a Spanish monumental complex built between 1940 and 1958 and located in the valley of Cuelgamuros, in the municipality of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, in the Community of Madrid. It is located in the Sierra de Guadarrama, 9.5 km north of the monastery of El Escorial.

We stopped here on our way from Toledo to Segovia and were impressed by the enormous scale of the monument. You drive in approx 5km from the entrance gate and are assaulted by the sheer enormity of this place. The huge granite cross built on the mountain (apparently the largest in the world), the Pieta and the enormous basilica. There is something eerie and disturbing about the entirely underground basilica built into the mountain and the gigantic angles watching over everyone. The Valley is the resting place for over 40,000 people who perished during the civil war and up until recently also was home to Franco's grave. Unfortunately no information is available at the monument so do your research before you arrive. This is well worth a trip from Madrid.
