Friday we had a group trip to El Escorial in the mountains outside of Madrid. It was built in the 1500s in the shape of a giant grill to commemorate the martyrdom of St. Lawrence. It contains a palace, basilica, library, monastery, and school. But I really loved the little town around the palace. It was rainy and cold but high enough in the mountains that the leaves had started to turn red and gold and it reminded me of a little New England town.
