ABSTRACT

In this extraordinary issue of Carreteras magazine, on the occasion of its 60th anniversary, it seems logical to make a brief review of the paving sector referring to that same figure, 60 years. I will try to do it broadly and from a very personal perspective, so in the event of any error or omission, only my responsibility corresponds, in any case I will try this exercise from the intention of objectivity. I do not want to limit myself to analyzing the past, but I would like to detail some of my impressions about the current situation and the future that awaits us, which is always a risky exercise.
