The emblematic peaks of Asturias, located in the eastern part of the region, rise majestically above the valleys and thick forests that surround them. They are also the icon of this protected area of high mountains, the Picos de Europa National Park, an authentic paradise for native fauna and flora.

It is also a favourite place for lovers of outdoor activity, due to the infinity of possibilities that this space gives to its visitors. The network of trails is very wide and offers spectacular routes for all levels, such as the classic Ruta del Cares. The water courses become a recreational place for fans of the descent in CANOE or CANYONING and the steep roads of the Lakes, are the meeting point of CYCLISTS from all over the world.

The GASTRONOMIC tradition is as varied as the landscape that changes rapidly between rivers that cross deep gorges and pastures that follow the oak and birch forests. It is this variety, perhaps, that gives an originality to the products of this territory and, notably, to the excellent cheeses such as CABRALES or GAMONEU. 

And, as if that were not enough, it is the place of worship par excellence of the Asturian people since it was in Picos where, according to legend, King Don Pelayo and his army found refuge against the invader. CANGAS DE ONÍS and the Sanctuary of Covadonga are a must for believers and history buffs.

Few territories concentrate as many emblematic places in as little space as Picos de Europa.
