Bosque de los Ausentes

In the southwest corner of the Parque del Buen Retiro, the government planted a quite moving memorial, el Bosque de los Ausentes (Forest of the Absent).

In light of the 191 victims of the train bombings that occurred on March 11th, 2004, an olive or cypress tree stands for each victim.

This photo is a glimpse of the memorial at sunset.
