I've seen many erratics but these are giants. That one erratic above the village could cover it. The "La Palombera" Wall: The specific section of the cliff directly overhanging Urria is known as La Palombera. It acts as a massive natural shield, protecting the village from northern winds. These erratics were not rollers: Thousands of years ago, a massive glacier flowing from the high peaks (like the **Albos** or **Peña Orniz** to the right out of photo) plucked these chunks of limestone from the mountain walls. * **Deposition:** As the climate warmed and the ice melted away, it "dropped" these boulders exactly where they sat. Because they were carried *inside* or *on top* of the ice, they didn't roll down the hill—they were placed there gently (hmmm.... gently?) as the ice vanished.

Sierra de la Serrantina: This is the immediate mountain range you are walking alongside or looking toward. Its vertical "ribs" of grey limestone are particularly striking when the sun hits them from the west or south.
Urria: The small, picturesque village in the center-left, known for its traditional Asturian architecture and its position right under the towering cliffs.
The "Ribs": The vertical lines you see in the limestone are a perfect example of the geological "folding" that defines Somiedo, where ancient seabed layers were pushed upright.
