Sunday was at the Vallee de los Caidos or the Valley of the Fallen, the Franco-era, monumental memorial to Spain's Civil War dead. Like the war itself, the monument is about religion, with a gigantic cross towering over a huge church carved into a mountain, and presided over by Benedictine monks. No pic of the interior allowed, but the exterior is grand enough.
We stayed overnight at the monastery guesthouse and went to Vespers, in Latin of course, with the monks.
