CIRCULAR ROUTE THROUGH PICOS DE EUROPA
The purpose of this project is for the National Park to become better known. Within a historical context, the “Anillo” (Ring) of Picos de Europa covers the Montes Vindios, known today as Picos de Europa.
Everything in this route in Picos de Europa is spectacular: the rocky crests, the gorges, the valleys, the vast glacial lakes, the leafy forests. You can rest assured that you’ll be absolutely amazed at everything you see.
Every stone found on the wayside by people who wish to venture into the Ring amasses many different stories, many of which will be rescued from oblivion thanks to the National Park Mountain Huts and the great job of the wardens.
HIGHLIGHTS
A spectacular walking adventure through one of Spain’s most dramatic mountain landscapes.
This journey takes you deep into the Picos de Europa National Park, exploring the rugged terrain, magnificent valleys and distinctive limestone peaks of its Western, Central and Eastern Massifs.
Rising close to Spain’s northern coast, the Picos de Europa extend across Asturias, Cantabria and the province of León in Castile and León.
Towering summits approaching 2,650 metres, deep gorges, high mountain pastures and secluded valleys create an extraordinary variety of walking environments. Each massif has its own character, offering new scenery and a different perspective on this remarkable mountain range.
The Picos de Europa form part of the wider Cantabrian mountain ecosystem, an important habitat for chamois, deer, eagles, vultures and many species of alpine flora. Bears and wolves also inhabit the broader mountain region, although sightings are rare.
This is not an empty wilderness. For generations, local communities have shared the mountains with their livestock, shaping the high pastures and preserving traditional ways of life that remain an essential part of the landscape.
The proximity of the Cantabrian Sea gives the Picos de Europa their distinctive climate and, on clear days, creates remarkable views between the mountains and the Atlantic coast.
Traditional villages are scattered through the valleys and around the massifs, offering an authentic introduction to rural life, regional culture and the rich gastronomy of northern Spain.
This tour combines memorable mountain walks with opportunities to discover the natural environment, history, villages and traditions of the Picos de Europa.
Experience dramatic peaks, peaceful valleys, local culture and some of the finest mountain scenery in northern Spain.
