"The Cantabrian Mountains represent some of the most extreme climatic divides in Europe", so true. It's like covering a distance of 500 km in just 4 km (tunnel)!
This brings back memories. Last time I drove this road was about 25 years ago. I used to deliver pork bellies from Lincolnshire UK. to a sausage factory just outside Oviedo.
+American Roads There is the Picos de Europa National Park nearby. But it was very rainy along the north coast, so I didn't get the chance to visit that.
@@EuropeanRoads you should, in the way to Picos there is a huge canyon between mountains where in few meters there is a river and the road, its beautifull
Mi sugerencia personal para el verano: cornisa cantábrica, zona de Santander. Dias de gran humedad, subir a Reinosa, Embalse del Ebro, Pico Tres Mares. Autopista sin extorsión económica, si bien sugiero hacer el trayecto de Torrelavega a Reinosa por la antigua carretera. Reinosa y su entorno es una maravilla. Reinosa tiene dos estaciones: el invierno y la del tren.
In Asturias we must keep our grass green, the only way is to have always some clouds on the sky... grats for the video, u have captured the real weather change from Asturias to León.
The video image of the bridge caught my attention into watching this video. Great ride...neat tunnels, the bridge, scenic mountains and modern freeway infrastructure...what more could one really ask for in a long distance drive? Nice soundtracks too. Was this your first and only time driving this route?
I recorded this in 2015, but I visited the same area last year, when I went across the local roads and see the bridge from there. It's a very scenic area as you can see.
you past castilla leon and his sun to the magnific and spectacular Asturian climate. As ''asturiano'' i could say that it is strange that clouds and rain we always have 30-35 degrees of temperature and no clouds (ironic) hahahahahaha nice video man
Castilla Y LEÓN o si lo prefieres LEÓN y castilla, recuerda que son dos regiones completamente diferentes, la "y" es muy importante para separar diferenciar las dos regiones
@@vikingohippie8087 no creo que no poner una y sea despreciar y más para un inglés. Soy medio de León así que no me tienes que dar clases de nada fiera

"Its construction began in 1975 and in August 1983 its first phase was opened to traffic. It was completely completed in 1997 with the splitting of the Negrón tunnel. The seven tunnels of the highway reach a length of 16,913 meters, representing approximately 11% of the total route. The El Negrón II tunnel stands out, 4144 meters long and located at a height of 1229 meters." (spanish Wikipedia). This route is a high mountain highway. Some winter I have had problems. Although it is seldom closed to traffic, it is wise to check the weather ahead or make sure of winter tires. The layout is very winding, dangerous and obsolete (1968 design). Today the mountains would have been saved with another circuit. You do not deserve to pay the 13 euros it costs.

I live in Leon, and I drive that road several times a year. It is true, asphalt at the side of Leon is not in very good state. This is a labelled a "High Mountain motorway", and there is not much traffic, since the old road is still in service and many people use it to save the toll fare. I do that myself when I drive from Leon to Asturias, since the road goes down from the Central Plateau and crossing the old mountain pass downwards is not much of a hassle (and the scenery is even better). I use to take the motorway the way back, that the road climbs up the mountains. Anyway, at the Leon side the weather changes are extreme, and temperatures can be well below freezing early morning and climb almost twenty degrees Celsius by noon Spring and most of Fall, with pretty much snow and ice in Winter. That degrades the asphalt very fast, and there is not that much traffic to pay for it to be kept much better. If you notice the Asturias side, where the weather is not so extreme, the asphalt is in better condition.

Usually the weather in Asturias is rainy, cloudy.... and Sunny in Leon: we (the asturians) used to say: entering in Mordor 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It's a beatiful mountain highway
Qué gracia a mí me ocurre lo mismo desde León: cuando cruzó el negrón hacia el norte pienso que entro en la casa de los primos pobres de otegui, que diver😂
Di tu que cordillera en inglés es mountain range si nos ponemos tiquismiquis. El video ye de León pa asturias no pa Cantabria, Cantabria ye muy guapo pero en esti video no sale

Cantabrian Mountains es como se llama en inglés a la Cordillera Cantábrica, cadena montañosa que va paralela al Mar Cantábrico, también llamado en inglés Cantabrian Sea. Antes de soltar comentarios maleducados e innecesarios conviene tener un mínimo de cultura básica.

Wow! Look at that weather shift. Sunny before the tunnel, and suddenly foggy and cloudy after. Amazing! Did you see any National Parks along the way?

What a very pretty landscape in that part of Spain. Nicely done, sir.
Muy buen vídeo. Precioso paisaje. La próxima al revés. Desde Oviedo a León.
Jajajajaja
Excelente video , 👌👏👏👏 me encantó
Beautifull views

I love that road, but I prefer drive across the Cantabrian Mountains using the alternative route: Puerto de Pajares (Pajares' Pass).
I made a video of the Pajares Pass as well: th-cam.com/video/yCV5YJ8PTww/w-d-xo.html

Fernando Alonso learned to drive on this highway. It has more curves than kilometers
😏
Hay una norma no escrita que dice que si en el lado de León hay sol, al otro lado esa nublado y viceversa
What a great idea beautiful place fairly quiet so tell everyone about it, i do sometimes wonder.

Spanish roads seem better maintained than American ones. I'm worried the US has lost the lead a long time ago.
€13.00 toll😱🤯😖

Hay mi tierrucaaa
Good video and context, but I find the asphalt too bad for a toll-road. And acces for rest area is very O-O
haha come to America dude, you will know wots crappy infrastructure means ;)

Oussama Saadane Extreme weather changes affect the asphalt.
@@CityWhisperer exactly. Also the change of the asphalt color doesn't mean it's not smooth.
atravesar el tunel NEGRON es tener la sensacion de dejar atras almeria y salir por escocia pocos kilometros despues.
