Fun fact: Amancio Ortega, Spain's wealthiest person, was born in Busdongo, the second to last village before reaching Pajares pass. His father was an officer in the train station at the time.
Beautiful video!!, I'm from León, near to that area , and I just have to say that the whole ascent is in my place, at the point where you begin to descend, right where the famous parador is, Asturias begins, it would be good to mention it, because you just talk about Cantabrian montains and Asturias, It seems to me to be more accurate to mention León, since all the mountain ascent that you show in this video is in León. Good job, thanks for this video!!!
Very nice! I like a lot to drive on the passes in Northern Spain, as the landscape is totally different on each of the mountain sides. Also the Cantabrian Mountains act as a very powerful weather barrier and you have most of the time also different weather as you cross the mountains.
Yes I found this out while in the Picos on my motorbike. Wanted to see the coast, as soon as we were out of the mountains we were hit by heavy rainfall. Going back home, dry again 😂
pajares pass is especially known with its extreme railway that passes from la robla to pola de lena with some 66 tunnels and several very low radius curves , the pajares station is the highest station in spain
As a roadtripper, you may want to choose from time to time to drive on secondary roads, you can see much more from the landscape around by driving on such pass roads than on a motorway.
@@roadsexplore you are absolutely correct my friend, having a poorly developed GPS app was a blessing last time in and around the Alps, it took us more as the crow flies and the scenery was amazing and truly one of the highlights of our trip.
Esa ruta caminando desde León a Oviedo, Camino del Salvador es preciosa, el coche lo hace por carretera desde León, la etapa desde Poladura de Tercia, por montaña, bajas a Puerto de Arbas, el coche pasa por ahí, hay a lado una estación de ski creo recordar, pasas por el llamado Antiguo Parador en el mismo puerto, que se vendía, no se ahora y después por monte otra vez al pueblecito de Pajares, un bar hostal encantador, donde cené y dormí de cine, ya la bajada de Pajares por el camino de montaña un lujo, pasando por Puente de los fierros, os recomiendo hacer andando este camino del Salvador,
Los que dicen que cuando vengan a España, van a ir a esa carretera, 🤔🤔🤔, he visto gente darse la vuelta en cuanto ven la primera bajada. Desde León hasta Busdongo, todo normal, después.... Pd: que se olviden de pillar, un día así, por pajares.🤣🤣🤣
As You can see in the traffic signs, that You have recorded during your journey, You have reached the top of Pajares Mountain Pass, but You have not circulated through it.The Pajares Mountain Pass is on the other side, and believe Me ,You've missed a Jewel.
Lo interesante, bonito, para disfrutar de la conducción, viene aquí. La bajada de la meseta centroibérica, a la cornisa cantábrica. Zona de osos en libertad.
This must be one of the few cases in Spain in which choosing the tolled alternative really makes up for the money if you're a lorry driver. A 17% steep grade is insanely dangerous.
Happy New Year my friend. That's a great drive and video. I'm trapped in the U.K until all of this is okay but I can't wait to get in a car and drive in Spain again. Seriously, the roadways of Spain tell a story of the enormous issues of it's historical economic development. Luckily for us it's just great driving and scenery. Peace to you and yours. WT
I drove the whole N630 road some years ago. There's no traffic in almost the whole road, because the highway A66 is tollfree, except Pajares pass, and it connects a lot of towns of history
Awww.. you didn't go down the other side... lol!! Don't blame you in the least. 17% grade is brutal on brakes, brains and brawn. The brakes are easy to explain, the rest not so easy. Brains because you have to be aware of everything. Car, brakes heating, corners, other drivers, etc. Brawn, because you may have to manhandle your car if something breaks on those steep inclines. My hat is off to you for not making us sit her in our armchairs and freak out over it (although it would have been scary/awesome). Have a wonderful Sunday.
@@Travisbickle75 You are absolutely right. Where I live, we don't have such steep grades on our roads. Yes, we have hills, but almost every road is passable and relatively shallow. I can only think of one road that is really steep, and it's only a couple of hundred of meters long, and dirt/rocks. You need a 4x4 to get up it. lol I'm also a timid driver. I'm only used to driving around tractors, cows, and other slow drivers.
Hi! The colors were weird in this video. The road and the buildings were too white, the trees were not so green... I don't know how to explain. I don't know if that's the real landscape look because of the sun position, or somehow your camera contrast settings were different this time.
Yes that's right. The road has a really light texture and a I had to redo an earlier version of this video because the road was so bright it was almost white after uploading. UA-cam compression also changes colors somewhat (making light lighter and dark darker: more nearby pixels with the same color to reduce data usage).
@ Sí eso es una traducción al vascuence que no debería tener lugar. La vía que aparece en el vídeo une las Comunidades de Castilla-León con Asturias. Unos 200 km. Al oeste.

Days like this, there are very few in Pajares.

This is some of the Spanish magic. We have a lot of different climatologies despite its little size

Reminds me of the Canadian Rockies.
Que bonita es mi tierra el reino de León
The national sport:avoiding tolls! That cracks me up, might actually be an international sport.

Very nice videoooooooOOOO 📹
Greetings from, León (Spain).
Brilliant,I,v just added it to my list for when I get to Spain hopefully later this year(2021)
You'll enjoy spanish roads for sure!
In León we usually say:
"A Asturias por el Puerto"
👍

AP-66 is also fairly steep on the Asturias side. I saw several large trucks going over N-630 despite the 13 - 17% grades.
Buen vídeo, a ver la segunda parte, por la vertiente Asturiana

Yo pensaba qué era gallego...

Buenas recomendaciones las vuestras! :)

En invierno es el infierno... helado...
I can't watch the road, that gradiant blue sky is just mesmerising.
Pendientes muy fuertes en el lado asturiano. Igual en el puerto del Escudo ( Cantabria ).

Es la nacional 630 en León y pasas por busdongo de donde es el hombre Amancio Ortega el que gracias a él comemos muchas personas
Pero Amancio no es gallego ?esa carretera efectivamente pasa por busdongo pero en dirección a Asturias
@@diegogonzalezgarcia2244 es nacido en León en busdongo pero se crió en Galicia
Min 4:46 one of the best place for lunch, if you manage finish your food!!
Ezequiel
Gostei muito lindo
Good video, but you should have dive, yes dive, in the other side improving the experience in an stormy nigjht with snow chains. Really excityng!!
El otro video q tiene si es por la autopista
Buenas
What’s the name of the song in this video
It's at the end of every video.
No es la autopista
No existe ningún "Pajaresko Mendatea", es una falacia!
Eso es vascuence verdad???
@ Sí eso es una traducción al vascuence que no debería tener lugar.

@@rubenfernandezcampos8648 Es cierto, no debería estar en ese idioma extraterrestre.
@ Exacto.
Realmente esa ruta no es el Pajares
Es la autopista del Huerna que atraviesa la montaña con varios túneles
El PAJARES es siguiendo la N 630 y se pasa subiendo el Puerto del Pajares
Las vistas no tienen comparacion
No señor esa es la nacional 630 y no es la autopista
Y te lo digo yo porque vivo y soy de León montaña
En esa carretera está el mejor restaurante de toda esa zona Ezequiel
española tienes razón y pido disculpas
Estoy de acuerdo en las 2 afirmaciones
Visualice el video con prisa y al no ver la subida al puerto me precipite en la opinion
Me encanta Ezequiel siempre que paso tengo que llevar embutidos
@@javierruizromero8611 no pasa naaaaa🙏
Te dejaste lo mejor, bajar el puerto de Pajares
Apart from a bit of nice scenery in the beginning, this was a pretty boring road.
Because the video stops when the really interesting landscape begins. Hopefully they'll provide a part 2.
