The walking route of this month is the Las Médulas Hike in Spain.

The spectacular landscape of Las Médulas resulted from a Roman mining technique. It consisted of undermining the mountain with large quantities of water supplied by at least seven long aqueducts tapping the rivers in the nearby mountains.
