Descanso - north of Madrid

This is a descanso just north of Madrid. It is far off the highway and down in a ravine. It is one of the most peaceful descanso sites I have ever visited. The ground near the tree is a sandy wash.


The picture below is an image of the descanso taken from near the highway. Around the year 2000, Highway 14 was "modernized" and many railings were added to create a safe highway. The changes to the highway were controversial at the time because the railings blocked views that were visible from the highway. There is now a railing on the highway in front of this descanso.
