SPAIN ~ Urbasa-Andía natural park ~

... A magical view... the perfect postcard for this time of the year... the beech trees in these beautiful forests turn orange, red and gold in autumn... as Spain is the second most mountainous country in western Europe, it is surprisingly rich in beech forests... an ideal place for many outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, climbing, caving and paragliding... Thanks a lot Joseph&Assumpta!!  ヽ(ヅ)ノ I so hope for a peaceful solution for all Catalan people!! 웃❤유
