Picos Mountain AdventureTrekking Adventure
Straddled across the twin provinces of Asturias and Cantabria in Northern Spain, the Picos Mountains are nothing short of breathtaking. Thousands of years of erosion and geological activity have created soaring limestone towers, and plunging cavernous gorges. This really is and awesome part of the world and well worth a visit. Itinerary Thurs Accommodation Night 1— Simple Rustic Bunkhouse in Tresviso—with hot showers and great food. The Lodge owner looks after us well when we visit the tiny village of Tresviso Night 2 —Sotres—slightly more comfortable accommodation tonight—and a restaurant oozing with character Night 3—High Adventure in the mountains—wild and away from it all at the mountain refuge in the heart of the Picos. Simple standard, and simple food. Night 4—Down in Arenas - great food, friendly accommodation. The home of good strong cheese in the North of Spain. Medical Issues If you suffer with a severe phobia of heights or Vertigo—do not enter the Cares Gorge. It is extremely spectacular and very exciting, but also contains some very steep sided cliffs. Ensure you are adequately protected against dehydration (take plenty to drink), against sunburn and sunstroke, and against exposure (hypothermia) - take enough warm clothes with you… mountain weather can change very rapidly… Special Notes This is a point to point trek—which will not see us retracing our steps. Hence we shall be carrying everything we need for the main part of the trip. You may leave a small bag after the journey—which can be transferred to the end for the last night out. Food will be available each day. We shall buy packed lunches each day before the trek begins. We shall always stay somewhere where we can get food for an evening meals, and breakfast...
