Hike in Picos de Europa National Park
Meilleur moment pour visiter
The best time to come is between June and September, when the trails are free of snow and the weather is stable. For the Cares route, choose the morning to avoid the crowd and the heat in the canyon.
Conseils budget
Entrance to the massif itself is free, you only pay for parking at the entrance to the Cares trail (about 5 euros per day). A cheap accommodation option is mountain refuges with prices from 15 euros per person.
Recommandé pour
Avid hikers and trekkers, Nature photographers, Climbers looking for challenges, Travelers who prefer raw, wild landscapes

À propos
Faits rapides: Les randonneurs croisent des ours bruns cantabriques rares et voient d'anciens pics calcaires s'élevant à 2 600 mètres d'altitude. Les rivières creusent des gorges spectaculaires où planent des aigles royaux et fleurissent des orchidées sauvages.
Points forts: Des sentiers de randonnée traversent les lacs de Covadonga, où les eaux glaciaires scintillent sous les falaises montagneuses gravées par des siècles d'intempéries. Un sentier mène au sommet du Naranjo de Bulnes, un monolithe impressionnant attirant des grimpeurs du monde entier sur sa face verticale de 2 518 mètres.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear trekking boots with good grip, because sections of the trails run over rocky slopes and gravel paths.
- Set off on the Cares trail at 7 in the morning to enjoy views without crowds and in pleasant shade.
- Bring tick spray, in summer they appear in large numbers on the grassy sections of the trails.
- Try the local cabrales cheese served with honey at the refuges, it is a specialty of the region that you cannot buy anywhere else.
