La semana pasada estuve en Las Landas, una región histórica y natural del sur de Francia, una inmensa llanura con el bosque más grande de Europa, constituido esencialmente por pinos plantados a mediados del siglo XIX, limitada por un centenar de Km de playas al océano Atlántico y por los ríos Adur al sur y Garona al noreste. Es el paraiso del ciclista y surfista, ya que las playas salvajes y los carriles bicis existentes permiten la práctica de estos dos deportes.
Last week I was in The Landes, a historical and natural region of the south of France, an immense plain with the biggest forest of Europe, constituted essentially by pines planted in the middle of the 19th century, limited by a hundred of Km from beaches to the Atlantic Ocean and for the rivers Adur in the southern part and Garonne to the North-East. It' s the paradise of the cyclist and surfer, since the wild beaches and the Rail bikes that exist for the practice of these two sports.

Al lado de la bahía de Arcachon, se encuentra la formación de arena más elevada de Europa, la Duna de Pyla, con cerca de 105 metros de altura, y 500 metros de ancho, con más de 2, 700 km de largo, desde donde se divisa unas vistas espectaculares de la llanura y la bahía.
Next to Arcachon's bay, one finds the highest formation of sand of Europe, Pyla's Dune, with near 105 meters of height, and 500 meters of width, with more than 2, 700 km from length, from where there are a few spectacular sights of the plain and the bay.
