Exploring the Majestic Somiedo and Fuentes del Narcea Natural Parks – A HIKING TRIP THROUGH THE LAND OF CANTABRIC BEARS -

This Tour is ideal for hillwalkers with a good level of fitness & recent experience walking at grade A or B.

 

Embark on an unforgettable 8-day journey through the stunning landscapes of Northern Spain, exploring the heart of Asturias' most iconic natural parks, Somiedo and Cangas del Narcea. This adventure combines breathtaking mountain hikes, serene glacial lakes, and ancient Roman roads with rich cultural experiences, including visits to traditional "brañas" and an optional wine tour.

Each day offers a choice between two levels of hiking routes, ensuring an enriching experience for both seasoned adventurers and leisurely explorers. The routes will take you through spectacular alpine landscapes, dense oak forests, and remote villages, where you will witness centuries-old pastoral traditions. You will ascend to majestic peaks like Cornón and Muñón, walk through lush valleys and ridge paths, and marvel at the best-preserved oak forests in Europe.

As you explore, you will be immersed in the region’s cultural heritage, from ancient grazing lands to "teito" cabins and modern winemaking traditions. End your days in cozy accommodations, including the Parador Nacional de Corias, a former monastery turned into a luxury hotel and spa, where you can relax and rejuvenate.

Whether you seek thrilling mountain adventures or cultural relaxation, this trip promises a perfect blend of nature, history, and local charm. Discover the wild beauty and hidden gems of Asturias, where every hike offers awe-inspiring views and every village tells a story.

Depending on your brief, we can facilitate “A” walkers with more challenging options,  “B” walkers with shorter walks with more peaks & “C” walkers with comfortable walks featuring areas of historic or cultural interest.   The choice is yours. Just let us know in advance.
