La Cabrera Town seen from Cancho Gordo, Sierra de La Cabrera. (on full screen, please)
Please see notes on the previous upload. For Pam.
The road you see is the N1 motorway from Madrid to Burgos and then further north (Bilbao, San Sebastian? I'm not sure). When I drove from Madrid here in 1981 the motorway didn't exist and I recall being stuck in La Cabrera while they got their sheep to market. So we stopped the car and went for a walk up the slopes of La Sierra de La Cabrera and enjoyed a good scramble, the spectacular crags as seen from the road being too hard to resist! Little did I know then that this would be my prefered walking area many years later!

Hermoso paisaje. Si, en 1981 era la N1, no existía autovía, entonces empezaban por tramos. Hacia el Norte se encuentra Bilbao y pocos kilómetros antes de Bilbao hay un desvío hacia San Sebastian e Irún, para quienes han de pasar la frontera. Para esos años ya había autovía entre Bilbao y San Sebastián.

Thank you José Manuel. There was no motorway and certainly no dual carriageway, The main Burgos road went through the town of La Cabrera. I drove; later we turned off towards Soria and eventually we went to the Pyrennees via Andorra. And then back to Perpignan where I was based that summer.

What an amazing view and the landscape looks so flat from there, which is amazing considering how mountainous it is there

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
The whole of Central Spain is one flat plateau, Jenny.
Except where it isn't!!! And these rare rocky intrusions are a godsend!
