Another beautiful place to see !
And not so far from my home.
I've visited Spain only one time, in 1999, it was the first holiday with my wife, I went with a Cordoba 1.4 without air conditioned, driving lot and lot of hours to arrive in Catalunya...

You live in a very nice place !

Thanks for everyone:

Hi ilpiccolobardo, its true that you don´t live so far.

Cantabria and the north of Spain, is diferent to the tipical spanish images that the people think about Spain.
Cordoba and Andalucia, is the land with more tourist people. The wheater in Andalucia is hotter (about 40 and 45 grades centigrades in summer), and in Cantabria 20, 25 grades is the top normaly.

So, Cantabria is green, humedity and there is a lot of water, and the south of Spain is dry, sunny and there is a lot of problem, becouse there is not a lot of water.

Cantabria is more similar to Scotland, for example, with taller mountains.

More images. Thank you

And which bike is yours?? smile.gif

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect Spain to look like. I think most peoples perceptions are actually more of Mexico than of Spain. There's the idea of the architecture, which appears to be spot on, but beyond that I had no real idea what Spain might look like. If anything your pictures might re-enforce any notions I might have had and even surpass in beauty.

How magnificent! I have a better idea of Spain now, after having spent all last spring in study of the Spanish Civil War, but I still had no idea it was so beautifully mountainous along the coast. Is this where the iron mining used to be? When I first looked I thought it might be the beginnings of the Pyrenees. It is similar to parts of the Scottish highlands. I don't want to make sad references, but the images of the village in the valley, all the little red roofs, and the inside of the town with the beautiful little stone bridge reminds me of the pictures of Gernika before the destruction.

You are a great photographer.

Thanks:

you are all right stoirmeil. But this is not Pirineos, is the Cantabrica mountains, just in the north of Spain, in the land near of Cantabrico sea. So the images of the town is very similar, in Asturias and Cantabria, in Pais Vasco too. But in the Pais Vasco there is a great national problem, whith the terrorist group ETA and for this I do not advise to visit it. These killers only want kill and to make terror, and this nice land suffers for it. They want the independence for a territory that always has been Spain, and for it they realize attempts in which any person can die. Only there are political interests. It is very sad and me believe what I say to you, because I know it unfortunately well. I live near these assassins and often I have cried for their actions. I can not lose it.

I believe that there are good and bad persons in all the places, but the important thing is to live in peace, without nobody imposes his ideas. He is a stupid to kill to innocent (enclosed children) for the ideal some. And they have done this for the whole Spain. I do not want to become sad, but I feel furious when I remember this
This is the number 1 problem in Spain...

Well, in this mountains, in more of 2 thousand in the top, there were mining of zinz and other minerals. This is a picture in a gate of this:

This is in PICOS DE EUROPA, inside CORDILLERA CANTABRICA. You can see more information in www.picoseuropa.net
