Interesante lugar cargado de historia y de arte. El monasterio resultó ser un sitio muy enigmático.La Basílica es imponente y la biblioteca tiene un techo precioso. El monumento en el valle de los caídos es espectacular. Tuvimos una guia maravillosa

Fabulous tour. Suzanna is so knowledgeable. The weather was unfortunate but viewing the library and the Basilica cut into the mountain were highlights. The architecture, use of natural materials were amazing. The skilled workmanship phenomenal. Madrid is blessed to have such historical buildings and sites so well maintained and loved worldwide. Not to be missed
