The Picos de Europa are Spain's oldest national park and a spectacular limestone mountain range between Asturias, Cantabria, and León. Deep gorges like the Garganta del Cares, peaks over 2,600 meters, and emerald-green mountain lakes make this mountain range one of the most impressive hiking areas in Europe. The Picos are only 20 kilometers from the coast — nowhere else in Spain do high mountains rise so close to the sea.
The Cares Gorge is the park's most famous hiking trail: A path carved into the rock leads 12 kilometers through a limestone gorge up to 200 meters deep between Poncebos and Caín — an experience referred to as the “Divine Gorge.” The cable car from Fuente Dé takes visitors to an altitude of 1,823 meters in just four minutes, from where hikes to the Hotel de Áliva or the summit of Peña Vieja begin.
The mountain lakes Lagos de Covadonga (Enol and Ercina) are nestled in a pastoral landscape and are among the most photographed sights in northern Spain. The Basilica of Covadonga, built into a natural rock cave, marks the site of the first Christian battle against the Moors in 722. The surrounding villages such as Potes, Sotres, and Bulnes (accessible only on foot or by funicular) preserve a traditional mountain culture. The region's cuisine features Cocido Lebaniego (mountain stew), Cabrales cheese (aged in caves), and Asturian Sidra (apple cider).

The gondola overcomes 753 meters in altitude in just 4 minutes and takes visitors to 1,823 m – from there, numerous high mountain routes begin.
The iconic limestone monolith (2,519 m) is the landmark of the Picos and a dream destination for climbers.
The chapel built into a cave is the site where the Reconquista began in 722 AD – a pilgrimage site of national significance.
