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
