That's not correct. From Los Tornos, you can't see Lanestosa. :( If you went up the N-620, you've passed through Lanestosa. But from the top of the pass, what you see is Soba. ;) If you went up through Fresnedo, you can't see it either.

Spectacular panoramic views. Right in the valley ahead, Lanestosa, the westernmost town in Bizkaia bordering Cantabria.

When you want to stop the survey, always keep the back wheel between your legs, it won't fall off ✌️✌️🍀
