Spain Tour 13: Potes to Leon part 1

Finally on the 20th we left the camp site and headed for Leon. The N-621 is a fairly empty road that climbs up and over a high pass in the mountains. It rises from 300m at Potes to over 1600m at the highest point of the pass - and much of the climb is in the last few kilometres. From Google Maps here is what part of the road looks like - it really does twist and turn like this as it as it climbs.

The view was absolutely fantastic, and the sky felt huge.
