1. Colonization!

   It is time Spain and Portugal demand reparations for the enslavement of their people and the unlawful extraction of their countries’ resources. Rome should be held accountable for the actions of its Empire.

2. I’ve gone there so many times as a kid, even when the site was still free for everyone to just crawl through back in the 90s. Goodness I miss Galicia.

3. Can you say where is geographically? Or is pending on air?

4. Pretty impressive what they did, considering the time and the technology available. There used to be a mountain there, and they completely demolished using man made tunnels and running water through them. Now all there is left are some sandy hills.

6. I went there a year ago. Cool place however if you dont want to do a long walk there is only a balcony (where does pictures are made)

7. Went there last year with some friends. Absolutely beautiful! Bought a cool painted rock from a local too. Highly recommend this spot in Castilla y León.
