El Escorial and Abantos from the Roman road

San Lorenzo de El Escorial, some way off but still impressive, against the backdrop of Mount Abantos. The best preserved stretch of the Roman Road is at this point.

Wat die arme drommels van Romeinen toch slechte wegen hadden,,,daar kon geen wagen goed op rijden---een wals was nodig

Andy Rodker replied to Fred Fouarge:

Thank you Fred.The road here is on a steep slope and the rain sometimes pours down here. Floods would have dislodged the stones over the centuries as well as humans digging up some of the stones for their own use.
