Insider Knowledge for Picos de Europa

    The Cares Gorge trail (12km one way) is one of Europe's most dramatic gorge walks — hewn into vertical limestone cliffs above a turquoise river. The Naranjo de Bulnes (2,519m) is the iconic peak visible from the cable car. The local Cabrales blue cheese from the village of the same name is the finest trail food in Spain.
