good walks in Picos de EuropaCountry forums / Western Europe / Spain | ||
Anyone done any good 2-3 walks in Picos, sleeping in pensiones or refugios? Not the Cares gorge - I've done that one! | ||
These folks have, but I haven't. | 1 | |
Link doesn't work sadly - maybe I'll repost on trekking thread. | 2 | |
Suiko, does it have to be in the Picos? I am not an expert in walks but an area in Cantabria that we found highly fascinating, intriguing and picturesque was the 'Valle del Pas', south of Santander. | 3 | |
Not done much walking in Asturias but here are a few websites that maybe of help: | 4 | |
Thanks, but Picos is the easiest area to research, and one of the best as regards facilities (esp refuges). We have three full days only, so it has to be possible to research all the logistics (public transport etc) beforehand. And my gf wants to go to the beach for the last day, so Picos seemed good, as I know it a bit and Llanes, my favourite N Spanish resort, is nearby. The pasiegos, btw, are not unique in their mountain agricultural system - similar set-ups exist throughout the Cantabrian mountains, from Ancares in Galicia, Somiedo in Asturias, as far as the valle de Pas. | 5 | |
