This was a fantastic trip, and it exceeded all of our expectations! Our guide Alberto was amazing, as he was able to exactly pace our group as we needed. His experience and knowledge truly showed on this trip. I would highly recommend your company and Alberto as a guide to anyone wanting to see the Picos de Europa.

The traveller did not leave a comment.
Spectacular wild landscapes of rocky mountains, glacial lakes, lush forests, hidden valleys and deep river gorges make Picos de Europa a wonderful hiking destination in Europe. What’s even best, the area is relatively beneath hikers’ radar, offering hidden trails to enjoy the peace of the mountains.

Best time to visit
May to October. The most popular areas get very crowded in July and August. Spring and autumn offer mild conditions, beautiful flowers and the magic of fall colors
Weather
Cooler conditions make this region of northern Spain quite comfortable for a hiking tour in summer, and there is less chance of rain.Winters are cold. Bear in mind weather changes fast in this region, so you should pack rain gear
You will find amazing hiking routes around the high peak from the Fuende Dé cable car, and from the subterranenan funicular at Poncebos. The Ordiales Ordiales Scenic Balcony Trail offers some of the most beautiful views in its 11-kilometer route. Visiting the Picos de Europa National Park for a hiking tour is a great opportunity to explore three very different Spanish regions: Asturias, Cantabria and Castilla y Leon. Visit traditional fishing villages and enjoy a dramatic coastline in Cantabria and discover the rolling green countryside and delicious cheeses of Asturias. Castilla y Leon is a place to discover ancient palaces, castles and famous historical cities, like Salamanca
From the beginning to the end, Ruben and the Explore-Share team were fantastic. Ruben made the 4 day hike enjoyable, educational, and overall a ton of fun. He was super knowledgeable and even during the toughest part of the hikes, we felt incredibly safe. Very thankful for finding explore-share and I\'ll definitely use them again. I also would be sure to recommend Ruben to anyone looking to hike the Picos!
