the reservoir of "El Vellón", situated in the poor saw of Madrid.

The prey was built between the years 1966 and 1968, the construction was directed by Juan Benet.

It is the only reservoir that to regulate the water of the river Guadalix.

Quest #4

I found this cache in Chinchón, Madrid, Spain. It is the Plaza Mayor of Chinchón. The monumental wealth of this town, has served also of setting to titles as "El maravilloso mundo del circo" (1964; Henry Hathaway), with scenes rolled in the Plaza Mayor of Chinchón.

One of the movies of the American producer Orson Welles, was "Una historia inmortal" rolled from September to November of 1966 in Chinchón and Madrid.

As you can see the photograph, today was being celebrated the day of carnaval, having placed numerous positions of sale of artesania and with numerous actions for the more small of the family.

I found this cache the last 30th, January, in Madrid, Spain. It figures in spanish, but I believe that it will be ok.

It is a placard of the owner of the garage in which indicates that rents the garage for motorcycles. The word "ACMITE" should have been spelled "ADMITE".

"El Puente de Toledo" crosses between the "Piramides" round and the "Marqués de Vadillo" round, in Madrid (Spain).

From long time ago, there has been a bridge in the same place, that finished destroyed by the floods. For example, the built in the last third of the s. XVII was destroyed in the year 1720 (s. XVIII). It was then when began the construction of another stronger and picturesque one, the one that is known at present, finished in the year 1732 (s. XVIII).

In the pictures, you can see one plate with the last date of its rehabilitation, on November 17th of 1997.

The arches of half a point are carving in ashlars of granite. In the center of the bridge, on the pretil, there are two sculptures of "San Isidro" and "Santa María de la Cabeza". Both are mades in stone limestone by Juan Ron.

It is closed to the rolled traffic and it has become a pleasant walk way.

Best regards.
