Follow The Plaza del Torico's LED Lamp Road

The Plaza del Torico in Teruel, Spain was renovated with something even better than yellow bricks\over 1230 color-changing LED lamps embedded in the pavement.

It's kind of like that fiber optic pavement you might have seen at an amusement park in the past, only on a larger scale. The whole system can be programmed to change colors and patterns in sequence

That stack of stone slabs? Trippy. That buildings in that picture look quite beautiful and clean...looks like they did a good job on the makeover.

All those lines are trippy, too: like someone went nuts with a paint marking machine... :hehe:

Yeah those LEDs are arranged all crazy style. I imagine it would be one helluva trip if you were tipsy or high.

Nice. That's one country haven't been to in Europe. I'd go just for the food.

This is the thread Krim wants to resurrect? :hehe:

Jamon Iberico de Bellota...is flippin' GOOD. The deep color of the ham alone is droolworthy. Dood in Spain, they have Jamon bars....

I had the real deal, which until somewhat recently one could not get in the United States. I had the real deal at a Spanish restaurant in London at the Borough Market

Sounds delicious........ The is probably some that can be purchased for export. Probably pricey too.

Loved the Ham Bars in Spain when I was there. :victory:
