First of all.. Happy brithday to my Mom Judy (91) and my Brother Billy (64) .. I love you both !!!
We woke up late and feasted on sardines and a cantabrian sweet called Quesada
Heres a picture of our cabin.. soooo beautiful
We piled in both cars and headed to Engaña .. its an old abandoned rail line , train station,. barracks, and tunnel from the early 1950s.. Actually .. to call it abandonded is not accurate.. it was built but never completed.. It was a huge projjkect.. mostly built by political prisoners from the spanish civil war..
It was in the middle of nowhere.. a beutiful drive through mist mountains with small stones. homes..
first stop was the old train station.. never used.. but now anb interestign historical wreck
From there we walked the unused railway bed through several miles of bridges and long dark damp tunnels.. Sooooo spooky and cool !
After a while we came upon the old barracks.. tis is where the prisoners that id all the builing lived for several years.. From what we read, it was pretty inhumane.. they were fed and clothed poorly.. many died form illness.. It looked lik e it must have been a horrible life
From there we kept walkign and found even more ruins of buildings.. no idea what they were.. but they were massive
then more walking back through the tunnels
We got back in the car and visited a nearby town in search of food
my glow in the dark rain coat was pretty creepy in the church !
Pretty cool day.. lots of adventure..
more tomorrow
nite all. nite sam
