Step into the origins.
Venture into the heart of the mountain.
Encounter the Earth's geological archive.
Witness absolute darkness.
Find refuge in the eternal present.
The project An Ode to the Mountain emerged from direct contact with the natural landscapes of Cantabria. Visits to the caves of El Pendo, Las Monedas, El Castillo, and Covalanas, millennia-old World Heritage sites, became the starting point.
