### Intro

> Can a squirrel cross from north to south spain without touching the ground?

The answer is: **obviously not**. But, another question arises, and this one is not so easy to answer:

> If a squirrel had to go from the north of Spain to the south, touching the ground as little as posisble: which way would it follow?

You have found the answer! Browse trough the interactive map or [download](https://github.com/jsga/GlobCover_maps_squirrel/blob/master/Files/path_coordinates_solution.csv) the coordinates of the path. The code is publicly available in [this](https://github.com/jsga/GlobCover_maps_squirrel) repository. Feel free to share and comment it.
