Spring Break in Spain

Day Six - El Escorial


Monasterio de San Lorenzo del Escorial

All the late Spanish kings except for Filipe V and Fernando VI are buried here.  You can't see it in the picture, but there's a huge "meadow" of granite built around this place.  Apparently, if you bring a geiger counter here, it starts beeping away because of the residual radiation from the slabs.
