About this trip
A week of daily walking through the Picos de Europa, based in one village rather than moving around, so you get to know the place properly rather than skimming the surface.
You're staying in Sotres, the highest village in Asturias, at a family-run hotel headed by Juan and Sonia, with homemade Asturian cooking to come back to each evening.
The walks cover the western, central and eastern massifs, taking in one of the wilder corners of northern Spain along with a bit of local food culture on the side.
What you'll do
- Daily walks across the western, central and eastern massifs of the Picos de Europa
- Walk the cliff-cut paths of the Garganta de Cares, known as the Divine Gorge
- Ride the Fuente Dé cable car up to panoramic views over the Aliva Valley
- Stay in Sotres, the highest village in Asturias, at a family-run hotel
- Meet the makers of Cabrales blue cheese and eat homemade Asturian food
- Based in one village (Sotres) for the whole trip rather than changing accommodation each night
- Rated moderate — daily walking in mountain terrain, so a reasonable level of fitness helps
- Private rooms throughout, so no need to share

Worth it if you're fit and love dramatic mountain scenery. Think twice if you need guaranteed good weather or prefer gentler terrain.
- Cares Gorge walk and Naranjo de Bulnes climb are genuinely spectacular, physically demanding but deeply rewarding.
- May wildflowers in full bloom, wildlife sightings, and open mountain vistas throughout make scenery the real star here.
- Expect four seasons in one day even in May; visibility unpredictable, so some views may be obscured by cloud.
- Hotel hospitality and group camaraderie are consistently welcoming; local food and lunch stops enhance the experience.
