Iberia Discussion

Mengibar looks like a one-industry location like nuclear power plants and ferry ports have been for ages. Naantali is right next to Turku, for example. If SCS is expanding this approach to other industries, I'm all for it.

Maybe some local can enlighten us about the importance of Mengíbar and why is it any different from Bailén, I only know Bailén and it's for historical reasons (the first ever defeat of a Napoleonic army was in Bailén battle).

Wait, where is this graffiti picture from? It looks pretty cool, but I don't remember any blog featuring it...

It was in the blog post of the release of update 1.38: https://blog.scssoft.com/2020/07/euro-t ... lease.html

Olive oil perhaps?

Oh, okay, thanks!

[Esproquet]

Olive oil both? I ignore it, that's why I ask.

[IvanKuz]

No, it seems to be ceramics for Bailen. Lots and lost of ceramics.

[Esproquet]

It has to be something else, the most important ceramic factories are elsewhere. Anyone here from Jaén province? I'll ask a coworker of mine tomorrow (she's from there).

[IvanKuz]

I mean. From simply looking at it on Google Maps, I don't see what else can it be.

And I don't see why the existence of more important centers of some industry should prevent the inclusion of smaller locations of the same industry.

After remembering memories of driving in the Guarda area and google maps, this route could possibly be the entrance to Guarda: https://www.google.pt/maps/dir/40.44474 ... m2!4m1!3e0
The beggining of the blue line is the A23 (the same highway of the other image of Guarda that we had) exit to a region south of Guarda (https://www.google.pt/maps/@40.4454698, ... 312!8i6656)
then theres a intersection (https://www.google.pt/maps/@40.4357368, ... 312!8i6656) and if we turn to the right here we go to N-18 that has beautiful landscapes (https://www.google.pt/maps/@40.4637281, ... 312!8i6656) (sadly a forest fire happened a few years ago there so it hasnt got a lot of trees) and then we reach the G roundabout (https://www.google.pt/maps/@40.5234053, ... 312!8i6656)
What do you think?

[Esproquet]

@IvanKuz, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to understand why 1 town and a village apparently so close and similar to each other get to be on the map.

On the last video we saw that Algueña would belong to Murcia and not be a single town even though it's in a different province and region, and we're talking a 3 times longer distance to Murcia than between the two former Jienense cities. I'm sure there must be a reason for it all, I simply ignore it.
