Bit of Roman Road ripped out near Olloniego

[peregrina2000]

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.

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.

And "you don't know what you've got till it's gone". How sad!

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

Se encontraron con una parte de la ruta, que discurre entre El Portazgo y La Manjoya, completamente destrozada y sin apenas rastro de la milenaria calzada romana. «Está todo revuelto, lo han levantado todo, esto es un BIC y lo hemos perdido», lamentó Carmen Barbosa, representante vecinal de la localidad.

What does 'BIC' mean here?
