ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
This imposing structure is the Arco de la Victoria. It was constructed in 1956. It is one of the tallest archways (39 meters or 112 feet tall) in Madrid. It was built to commemorate the Nationalist victory in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Beside it is the Faro de Moncloa observation tower (the silver steel building).
