The striking landscape of Las Médulas is the result of some old gold mines exploited since Roman times that poured large amounts of water on the reddish alluvial land, breaking up the land to obtain the gold-bearing mineral. The image is taken at the Orellán viewpoint, one kilometer off the route to the right of the track.
