When viewing the rock formations of Las Medulas, it's important to remember that this landscape is not natural, but rather the (sad) remains of a mountain range that was ruthlessly exploited for its gold ore as early as the Roman Empire. Nevertheless, this landscape of ruins is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 15-minute film documentary about it (although only available in German) is available in the ARD media library as part of the highly recommended series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" =>> https://www.zdf.de/swr/schaetze-der-welt/page-video-ard-las-mdulas-und-seine-goldminen-spanien-100.html

The extraordinary landscape is a result of the ruina montium, a Roman mining technique. Pliny the Elder describes it in his Naturalis historia as drilling holes in the mountains and then flooding them with large amounts of water. This is said to have literally eroded the hills. In order to bring the required amounts of water from the Sierra de la Cabrera, a canal system over 100 kilometers long was built. Parts of this system are still preserved today. Under the reign of Augustus, the area was finally occupied by the Romans after lengthy campaigns (Cantabrian War, 29-19 BC). In addition, the Cantabrian region was also of economic interest to the Romans due to its mineral wealth.
