Day 10: Léon to Bilbao

A spectacular day of riding ended with some odd events that will get their own post.

The route cut through a park called the Picos de Europa, which is a national park in Spain. This is what the foot of the Picos look like from just outside of a village called Sabero.

This dam and the lake it dams is near a small town called Riaño:

This lizard is a direct descendant of the velociraptor that Old Man Forever used to ride:
