Field Trip to the El Escorial and The Valley of the Fallen

Students and teachers from SLS went to the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial(Madrid) on February 14 and visited its magnificent complex--basilica, library, the burial sites of the Spanish kings and queens, and museums--built in the sixteenth century during the reign of Philip II.

• In the afternoon, the students toured the nearby monument of the Valley of the Fallen where more than 30,000 casualties from the Spanish Civil War are buried.
