PICOS DE EUROPA is a unique region of Spain along the North coast near Santander, Gijón and Oviedo. The Picos are a limestone mountain range that hugs the provinces of Asturias, Cantabria & the Northern part of the biggest province in Spain – Castille y Leon.
It is an eco-destination and one of the first national parks in Europe. As such, there is no mass tourism or infrastructure related to that. Instead, you have a genuine natural environment where wild nature & man live harmoniously in balance.
As a limestone range with peaks reaching 2,600m, deep valleys & green pastures where animals graze up to 2,000m, the area is rich in wildlife, plants, history & geology. Bears, wolves, eagles, vultures, chamois, deer & many others populate the area along with alpine plants & so much more. Ancient man lived here, as did the Romans, Celts & others. It is steeped in history & traces of it are evident throughout.
The Picos are just 40 minutes inland from the Cantabrian Sea, which gives them a uniqueness for the spectacular views and their sculptured peaks. Little villages populate the valleys, with some also higher up & dotted throughout the three “massifs”, giving this area that lovely authentic experience of rural living where local culture & gastronomy are still preserved.
