Public Transportation and Smart Growth

When I was in Spain, many years ago, we were driving in the mountains in the south and at one point looked down into a steep ravine and I stomped on the brakes. Down in that ravine, running next to a stream was a Roman road. We parked off the road and I made my way down to the road. Next to it was the foundation of a building, probably a way station of some sort. I walked on that road in both directions. I still get the chills. I was walking on an intact, never paved over ancient road. It had been made differently then the above video showed, "my" road used large blocks nestled tightly together. I still think of it as one of the coolest things I ever experienced.
