Today was fantastic! We went to the different places. The first was El Escorial, a gigantic palace! The coolest part to me was the tombs of the royalty underneath. It also had a gigantic cathedral and a convent. Next we went to Valle de los Caidos (Valley of the Fallen) which is a tomb/monument for those who died in the Spanish civil war. It is huge and cut into the mountain and they don't let you take pictures inside, but there is a very somber and a little creepy feeling about it. The last place we went to was my favorite so far, a castle called Manzanares el Real. It was so awesome and you got to go up on top to the towers! It's in the mountains, next to a lake, and it just feels so medieval to be there. A couple of us were running around singing Frozen songs.
