[Did you know that…?] Picos de Europa (Asturies, Cantabrie & León)

[FHISKER]

The Picos de Europa, rising up to 2,650 meters, are one of Spain’s most spectacular mountain ranges. Known for their dramatic limestone peaks, deep gorges, and green valleys dotted with traditional villages, the area was declared Spain’s first National Park in 1918.

The peaks are shrouded in myths and legends, and the region is also home to the famous Cabrales blue cheese, matured in mountain caves. Wildlife lovers can encounter chamois, golden eagles, and even brown bears in the wider Cantabrian mountains. Its rugged trails and breathtaking landscapes attract hikers, climbers, and nature enthusiasts from all over the world.

Exploring the Picos de Europa is a journey where wild nature, tradition, and history meet in harmony.
