https://vimeo.com/277537183 What do you think of it ?

Cantabria, among others, Novales.
Where we drove on 8 km of the Minas ruta, a never ending technical track.

Also different most perfect GREEN lanes as you find in every bucket list of Northern Spain.

Lucky days because all found with just some OSM drawing.

Dummy day, stuck in a clay pit. FIXED so that sucks. Think well made by such a forest tractorrrr.
Never forget folding saw, we had a lever to fight the clay suction. Fortunately, took 6mtr ribbon.

Day 2 in reverse +added piece of extra track .

Mine tunnel spotted by chance, entrance completely collapsed.
Narrow road with cows, no chance, motorcycle off and walk for the ladies.
Again very green ride.
Today it is hot.
Other days all 21c.

Secret beach found. Upcoming tide.

Always Picos Europe close.
Located 2x40km gravel legally in the Picos park. Not yet done.

Old monastery on a Monte.
Another very old church isolated and strategic.
Very old situations are usually strategically we know in the meantime.

Everything without a wrong look.
Even the cows and horses seem unaware of anything.

Sunday morning locals compete partridge hunting on the cliff.

For your info, the underground mining is 18th and 19th century, so copper zinc and other metals. Its the red earth pic in the green.
All stopped since there is open pit African mining
No idea what was going on at the other site we hit it had drilling equipment, concrete and or drilling fluid.
