Motorway Viaduct, Asturias in Spain
As we twisted and turned around winding bends we suddenly found ourselves below one of the many concrete motorway viaducts that span the estuaries and gorges and we stopped to admire the sweeping, voluptuous structure arching and bending high above us, a magnificent and expansive feat of engineering, sinuous and wriggling like a plate of live eels and with more curves than Marilyn Monroe and from where we stood way below like a futuristic highway in the sky.
That is utterly impressive. Great shot!

I think you are right. Did you go/stay at Santillana? That is one of my favourite villages in Spain.

Yes we stayed there two nights Andrew. The guide book had described it as the prettiest little village in Spain. We loved it. 🙂

They have a good claim I think. It was Jean Paul Satre who apparently first gave it this accolade – “Le plus joli village d’Espagne”
