Yes, I can imagine it is so. Also visible is the bridge at El Granado/Pomarao.

Thanks Bryony. Who'd have thought a road like that would be such a jaw rattler?
Did you count the turbines?

Yes, from a distance you can see 15, but as you drive through the actual farm I think Mike counted another 10 or 12 under construction. Bryony

I could count 33 from VRStoA, yet as you drive closer to the Portuguese/Spanish border, they seem to disappear.
Weather's lovely (just what the doc ordered). Wind's blowing, but are the turbines spinning?

Not yet but the ones up by San Guzman were turning today and it was not that windy.

When we drove up there last month we counted 37 (including those under construction) we also passed a convoy with one of the 'sails' - they are gigantic close to.

37 is the projected number so Mike you are spot on. Two different projects of 24 wind turbines followed by another 13.
