Picos de Europa Spain
 

Hi folks

Off to to the Picos de Europa from the UK in May , has anyone got any recommendations on places or sights to visit ( taking the wife so can't spend every minute riding the twisties ! :mchappy: ).

Cheers

The Rio del Cares walk is great...

Walk 6110 - Rio Cares Gorge - Spain - a detailed walk description from Walking Europe

I started in the village of Cain. It's a bit out of the way but the roads around there are amazing.

Here are my photos and there's a link to commentaries from when I went a few years ago.

Hope it helps.

a treat the Parador Cervera de Pisuerga grab a room overlooking the lake stunning.

Leon is a great place to amble around and spend some time

Santiago de Compostela watching the pilgrims arrive is worth a visit, the last time i was there, a summers evening it was like a carnival in the square.

Or if you prefer the more active go on a mountain bike tour or a hiking tour , lots of places do them for most abilities. Me a prefer to sit out side with a glass of wine and watch the world go by !!

walking the Cares Gorge is well worth the effort (allow all day) & the cable car at Fuente De gives you access to some great views, if you like to wander follow the path to the 'refuge' for fantastic scenery & some local food.
The Picos are stunning, enjoy your trip.
