At the top of a mountain in Spain

Click image to enlarge

We have just got back from a camping trip to the Picos de Europa and at the top of the cable car at Fuente De we spotted this. There were quite a number of Defenders out there, from Series to brand spanking new.

When we were there a few years ago there was a Defender 'taxi' service between the cable car top station and a cafe/bar part way down the mountain. It was great fun but not for the feint hearted as they were driven at mad speeds down the mountain!

It's in the Picos de Europa, northern Spain, stunning scenery.
