I spotted this today on the way out of Madrid.

40.2720° -3.3787°

The big dish in the photo with the blue sign (extreme right) must be about 20 metres. Scale at google maps agrees.

LOL, that's some installation. I'd love to see the control room and how all the cabling is arranged.
 
This site is a Telefonica site, the dish to the right is Prob a 22m, Used by Intelsat, for Satelitte launches. there are many of these around the world ranging from 9.3 to 40m depending on Age and location.

I have worked on that site.

Telefonica also have another site north of Madrid on the Right, I never worked at this site.
 
Good view from the back on streetview also
