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.
