Key objectives for sustainability
The A-8 motorway is a land road with a roadway and double direction, which extends from Bilbao through the Cantabrian coast, passing through Canabria to Galicia. It is the best way of communication of Cantabria with Vizcaya. Cantabria has not exceeded any of the values limit by current legislation within the scope of the air quality control network, however, future investments in this area They are necessary.

Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
Sequoias are one of the trees longest in existence. They can arrive to last between 1,200 and 1,800 years, for us a symbol of memory that will endure from the people who rest in the cemetery «Among redwoods ». What many people don't know is that they are trees that work as a team and form an exemplary community, which, surprisingly deep of its roots is lower than expected (being such tall trees), for So if a sequoia gets sick and needs sap for some reason, nearest trees provide him, reason for which they can only grow and develop good in a group When a society is able to structure itself to the point of reaching group excellence is because it is: mature, capable and self-sufficient as a collective.
