Truly an experience that should not be missed. The snow made it all the more magical and special!

We headed out of Madrid early in the morning, and the drive was beautiful with the snow falling. It was the middle of March, so that was an added bonus.

El Escorial is imposing and grand. The tour guide was informative and entertaining, and kept a good pace with the group.

But the best part was the Valle de los Caidos. A befitting monument to the casualties of the Spanish Civil War. We knew it was hallowed ground at first sight. The cross in the middle of the white snow covered mountains was impressive, but the cathedral inside blows you away, both in size and significance. A befitting monument to the fallen of the Civil War.

The equivalent of Gettysburg in the US.

Great tour overall! It started off a little odd, as our group was small and we rode on a bus with a different tour to be dropped off and merged with another doing ours as well. I was the only english speaking person and that wasnt communicated well initially. Weather wasnt the best for visual at Valley of the fallen, but that is mother natures doing. You cant take pictures inside either of these, but that is what has kept the colors so vibrant.
