GIANTS ON THE ROAD
Transportes Cepelludo
SPREADING THE RISK
THE ROUTE TO THE VILLAGE OF SALCES, HIGH IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE
SPANISH PROVINCE OF CANTABRIA, RUNS ALONG THE BEAUTIFUL ARTIFICIAL
LAKE AT THE SOURCE OF THE MAIN RIVER IN SPAIN, THE EBRO. THE MOUNTAIN
TOPS ON THE HORIZON ARE MORE THAN 2,500 METRES HIGH AND EVEN
ON A HOT SUMMER’S DAY THEY STILL HAVE SNOW ON THEM. THE PEOPLE
LIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS ARE HARD WORKERS, SHAPED BY THE COLD
WINTERS AND HOT SUMMERS. AND EXACTLY IN A COLD WINTER ON THE
MOUNTAINSIDE, THAT’S WHERE THE HISTORY OF TRANSPORTES CEPELLUDO
BEGINS. AN INTERVIEW WITH ANGEL PEREZ SALCES.
