“THE TYRE SQUEAL IS UNBELIEVABLY LOUD”
OU-212, Spain
Galicia is just like Wales. Not only for the friendly Celts, or the fact that there is a cow for every two people, or for the showers all year round, but as they have a very similar orographic profile.
Galicia is called “the land of the thousand rivers” and for every stream there is a road alongside. And what a road! Boom years saw huge expenditure on infrastructure.
The tarmac is mostly from the last decade and you encounter stretches of antiskid greyish tarmac where you can feel the extra stickiness and even hear it: the squeal of the tyres is unbelievably loud! LittlePeter, topgear.com
