Valle de los Caidos
The Valley of the Fallen is 52 km north of Madrid. This was built by Franco after Spain's most recent civil war. 16,000 prisoners of war built it as a monument to those who were killed. Besides Franco, whose tomb resides here, 20,000 other are buried here.
Oddly, against this grisly backdrop, this is a beautiful and impressive place. These pictures were taken in late May 2000.
Do Not Adjust Your Set: These pictures were taken in between 1997 and 1999 with a first generation digital camera. They are as big and as good as they'll ever get.
