Bit of Roman Road ripped out near Olloniego

As you might imagine, Ender and the Salvador angels are spitting mad. Complaints have been filed, but the damage is done.

It appears to have been a lumber company’s machinery. The exact spot is between Portazgo and La Manjoya. Portazgo is the spot where that old “league marker” is located (from there, it’s 1 1/2 leagues to Oviedo). Right before that short climb through the wooded area.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

That is sad. I always love it when I come across such artefacts. However, not so sure I loved the one on Camino Madrid between Cercedilal and Segovia. But I did love the small stretch near Valdepiélago (On the Olvidado?)

In the famous words of Joni Mitchell, "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot" and soon the legacy of the Roman Ways will become only little bits of the history of Spain.

Greed harms again. And whoever did this doesn't care one bit. Hopefully they will be made to care.

What does 'BIC' mean here?
