It was intriguing seeing a statue on the top of the hill, glowing white during the day and beige during sunset. I then took one late afternoon to go up the hill and check it out. Later did I know that this is La Sagrado Corazón, the Scared Heart. This was taken from the final stretch of the road leading to the statue. It took about 5 kilometers to reach the top from the city, with its winding roads and little safety barriers on the side.
The final stretch of trails of rock leading to the statue at the summit. The trees were still painted with Autumn's palette.
I was not the only one at the top of the imposing statue. The first stone was laid in the year 1963. It was finally completed in 1981. La cruz de los angeles, the cross of the angels were moved from the top of the pillar behind the statue to the base, for a reason I do not know.
The sunset casted a warm colour to the statue. At the top, there were families with their kids and pets, some chose to walk to the top of the mountain, and its not an easy feat though, not at all. I took the car to the last stretch of the summit and walked the rest.
The view was spectacular. You can see some people pointing to others, that's the cathedral, that's my residential area, and that's the direction of Madrid. Can't help it and took a series of shots from the top of Monte Naranco. This is the panaromic view of the city of Oviedo. This shows only part of the city.
