I’ve wanted to go there since I get here, for people who like history, this places are in the list of 100 places to see before you die, and it’s quite impressive. The monument conceived by the spanish dictator Francisco Franco to honour those who fell during the Spanish Civil War, however the only two tombs of whom you can see the name are those of Franco and Primo Rivera. This monument has the tallest memorial cross in the world, a 152.4-metre-high construction of stone.

But of course this is not only a normal monument made by a dictator, for some this monument was built by 20 000 republican prisoners, but other sources say no more than 2 000 people worked there, many of whom skilled workers, but of course there lies the controversy.

History and politics aside, this is incredible, the view is unbelievable, the cross impressive and the place peaceful, definitly one of those places to see before you die.
