Amazing Cares Gorge Walk – Spain's Best One-Day Hike
Best one-day hike in Spain, probably even Europe? The Cares Gorge Walk (Ruta del Cares) in Asturias, in northern Spain, has to be a contender!
Join me on a stunning 25-kilometres hike along an amazingly engineered path in the dramatic northern part of the Parque Nacional de Picos de Europa. There are Indiana-Jones-style paths cut into the rock, plus tunnels, bridges and dizzying viewpoints. I've never been on a hike like it in Europe and it's guaranteed to be the highlight of your trip.
ALL THE DETAILS
The walk is from the trailhead at Poncebos (6km from the town of Arenas de Cabrales – there's a bus up to the start of the walk in summer). It takes about 3 hours to reach the small village of Caín – loads of cafes and restaurants here – and then you turn around and do it all again!
You need to be fit - it's a 25-km hike after all - but the going is flat and fairly easy. People do it in trainers, but hiking shoes or boots are best.
STAY - at the fabulous Hotel Torrecerredo in Arenas de Cabrales, which has brilliant food and tons of hiking advice and help -

Hiking through Bufones de Arenillas and Beautiful Beaches in Asturias,Spain |Camino del Norte-Day 18
Hiking through Wonderful Bufones de Arenillas and beautiful beaches in Asturias, Spain | Camino del Norte Pendueles, Llanes, Celorio - Day 18
On the Day 18 of our Camino de Santiago del Norte we got from the campsite La Paz in Pendueles to the campground Playa de Troenzo in Celorio.
We woke up pretty late to a cloudy morning in a beautiful location at camping La Paz. We were more than happy with it because of its incredible location between the two beaches and unusual concept. It was extremely hard to wake up to the gloomy weather that was staying lately and you know when you like the place you kind of don't hurry to leave. We tried to pack everything up as quickly as possible and get on the trail. We started getting through the fields and went out to the beautiful viewpoint that produced the strange sounds. We took some pictures of the rocks and cliffs and got closer to the place where a thunder like sounds were heard...

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.

Glorioso Mester - Picos de Europa, Parques Nacionales
El Parque Nacional Picos de Europa se encuentra en las provincias de Cantabria, Asturias y León, siendo el único Parque Nacional perteneciente a tres comunidades autónomas diferentes y gestionado de forma conjunta.
El macizo occidental fue declarado Parque Nacional el 22 de julio de 1918 por Alfonso XIII bajo el nombre de Parque Nacional de la Montaña de Covadonga, siendo el primer espacio protegido del país. Inicialmente comprendía 16.925 ha, hasta que el 30 de mayo de 1995 se amplió su extensión hasta las 64.660 hectáreas actuales. Ese año entró a formar parte de la Red de Parques Nacionales y siendo uno de los primeros espacios naturales protegidos junto con el Parque nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido.
El 9 de julio de 2003 la Unesco aprobó la propuesta que lo convierte en Reserva de la biosfera.
No se debe confundir con el Parque Regional de Picos de Europa, espacio natural protegido de Castilla y León, situado al Sur del Parque Nacional. En la actualidad el Parque Nacional de los Picos de Europa constituye el segundo parque nacional más visitado de España, después del Parque Nacional del Teide (Tenerife)

Playa de Cobijeru (Buelna, Llanes, Asturias) The smallest beach in the world
La playa playa más pequeña del mundo, asentada en el fondo de una dolina, tiene forma semicircular, de unos 30 metros, y aparece, como en el caso de Gulpiyuri, cerrada al mar por el acantilado. A esta depresión llegan las mareas a través de una serie de grietas talladas en la roca del acantilado. Por este motivo, es idónea para el baño, por la quietud de las aguas.
El entorno tiene un carácter rural y no dispone de servicios o equipamientos. Es, por tanto, un conjunto de enorme valor natural donde el visitante podrá disfrutar de uno de los parajes más bellos del Concejo.
The beach, nestled at the bottom of a sinkhole, is semicircular in shape, about 30 meters, and appears, as in the case of Gulpiyuri closed to the sea by the cliff. In this depression tides come through a series of rock-cut cliff crevices. For this reason, it is ideal for the bathroom, the stillness of the water.
The environment has a rural character and no facilities or equipment. It is therefore a set of great natural value where visitors can enjoy one of the most beautiful spots of the Council.

(English) Hiking Asturias | Pigüeña Valley Trail (Somiedo) | PR-AS-014.1
(English) Hiking Asturias | Pigüeña Valley Trail (Somiedo) | PR-AS-014.1
This trail in Asturias is a shorter alternative to the hike we did last week (La Peral to Villar de Vildas or PR-AS-014). It starts in Villar de Vildas (Somiedo), which is the village where we ended PR-AS-014. This hike gives you the chance to visit two brañas: Braña de la Pornacal and Braña los Cuartos. As I mentioned before, a braña is a set of huts, locally known as teitos and used by the sheppards when bringing the cattle to grace up in the mountains. The first braña, Pornacal, with 34 teitos, is the biggest one in Somiedo. Los Cuartos is much smaller but older. An additional highlight of this trail in Asturias is the Corralón waterfall. It can be seen in the distance from the trail, but we had extra time and went to have a more close look at it.
Concerning the hike in itself, it is 4.3 miles long (one way) and reasonably easy to walk. The route is pretty much uphill up to the end, located in Braña los Cuartos (4616 feet). The elevation gain is 2156 feet and is not too demanding. Pornacal is a pretty place to have a rest and, if time is right, enjoy the food you brought with you in the backpack. Shortly after leaving Pornacal, there is a fountain, although with very little flow when I passed it. After passing this fountain, 4 miles into the hike, you will see a waterfall in the distance. Its name is Corralón waterfall and you will have to leave the trail if you wish to take a closer look.
As a side note, I found another dog who likes hiking. It joined me shortly after leaving Villar de Vildas behind and did not leave me until the end of the trail, in the way back. If you remember, I had a similar situation happening to me when hiking the Cornón Peak trail (PR-AS-010). Its company made the hike even more enjoyable!
I would recommend this trail if you wish to visit one of the better known braña de Somiedo but you want to avoid hiking a very long distance. In fact, you could possibly walk the first 2.2 miles of the trail, arrive to Braña de Pornacal and spend the day there before going back. You could follow it further and visit the waterfall (4 miles) or even go all the way and end in Braña los Cuartos (4.3 miles). The trail is that flexible.
As always, you can find my track of this trail using the following link:
Also you can find a list of the PR-AS trails in Asturias following this other link:
This way you will know which trail will be featured in the next video.
Hope this useful to you and the video encourages you to start hiking. Of course it would be even better if you feel encouraged to come to Asturias and do some of the trails I introduced in these series of videos!
As always, you can find more information about this route and the others in my webpage (mrpablosaw.com). Remember the webpage has an Spanish, English and Chinese version, just click in the appropriate tab. There I have extra content, including information about the trails and extra pictures.
