The Faro de Moncloa is a telecommunication tower in Madrid which hosts a 92m high viewing platform now opened to visitors (?!)
It affords one of the precious panoramas of Madrid. The view above is from the Cerro de los Ángeles.
We made many attempts to visit it, since the early days of its existence. We could actually access the deck only on 21 August (2018) (with Camilo).
Here from the Manzanares, that we strolled till our visiting time.
The Arco built by Franco to celebrate his victory in this harshly fought part of the city, is 49m high.
