Turen går til Nordspanien
Ole Loumann
The Picos de Europa, one of Europe's last mountain wilderness areas, are the high point of a long ridge of mountains which runs along the north coast of Spain, the Cordillera Cantabrica. Rising to 2648m (about 8700ft), the Picos are divided into three spectacular limestone massifs separated from one another, and from the surrounding ranges, by precipitous gorges - a truly spectacular area in which to walk or tour. This guide covers the entire range (all three massifs): Urrieles (central Picos), Cornin (western Picos), and ndara (eastern Picos). It contains a wealth of information about the dazzling array of plant and animal life you can expect to see when exploring the range.
