Day Six - El Valle de los Caídos
The Basilica
This is the last great monument built by the Spanish fascists as a testament to their beliefs The basilica, built into the rock beyond, is filled with apocalyptic tapestries and death angels with swords. Franco is also buried here. It's a very disturbing place to see.
