Overview
In the heart of the Picos, you'll find the awe-inspiring Cares Gorge, a geological marvel where colossal rock walls rise dramatically on both sides of a vertiginous chasm, creating a microclimate-rich environment. The Picos, renowned for their maritime limestone pinnacles, captivating gorges, and lush valleys, offer unparalleled walking experiences often considered the best in Spain. This compact yet diverse region surprises adventurers with its unexpected challenges and delightful natural wonders. As you traverse uninterrupted waves of pristine beech and oak forests covering the undulating hills and mountain ridges, you'll be enchanted by the striking green landscape, crowned by the iconic Picos peaks. The unique blend of Celtic culture, exotic flora and fauna, and indigenous traditions makes the Picos a truly remarkable corner of Western Europe.
Both of our holiday destinations bask in sunny climates within rain shadow areas. Potes, our first center, is a charming market town nestled on the eastern side of the Picos in Cantabria. It serves as the ideal starting point for Mediterranean cork oak walks and an adventure using the cable car from Fuente Dé to access alpine meadows set amidst breath taking mountain vistas. Our second centre, the quaint village of Posada de Valdeon in Leon, is perched above the central and western Picos' dividing rift. From this idyllic location, we embark on the Picos' most beloved hiking route, the Cares Gorge.
During the week, we've set aside a free day for you to explore at your own pace. You can savour local walks or simply relax in the charming towns where we are based, adding to the richness of your Picos experience.
