======================================================
Welcome to Picos de Europa National Park. Its mountainous landscape leaves no doubt that - with apologies to the Pyrenees - features Spain's most stunning topography.
The hundreds of hiking trails throughout Picos de Europa are well marked; many of them feel scarcely used, plunging you into a remoteness that helps you reconnect with nature.
At the heart of the mountains and only during summer, shepherds produce one of the best cheeses in the world, Gamoneu. A cheese made with three types of milk (goat, sheep and cow) aged in natural caves for months. All the animals roam freely during the summer months in evergreen pastures eating anything but grass. This is what makes Gamoneu so special.
Enjoy a Picnic in style with a stunning view surrounded by mountains where you will taste Gamoneu, Iberico Ham and local specialities paired with a good wine.
The cherry on the cake for a full day of emotions will be a night in at 16th-century palace, which has been lovingly converted into a luxury hotel. Its opulent interiors and beautiful antiques create a relaxing atmosphere — the perfect way to unwind while you enjoy spectacular views over the mountains of this natural paradise in Northern Spain.

RUTA TELEFERICO FUENTE DE - PN-PR 24
Fuente De is located in the region of Cantabria in northern Spain. One of the main draws to the area is the Picos de Europa mountains. Picos de Europe means literally the ‘Peaks of Europe’, and got their name because this was the first thing ships from the Americas saw as they approached Spain’s northern coast.
These dramatic steep, jagged peaks were formed over a period of 300 million years, with lakes and valleys forged by the glaciers that weaved their way through them. The mountains are extremely popular with walkers and mountaineers, however because of its proximity to the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay, they are prone to experiencing sudden changes in weather with mists rolling in from nowhere. Obviously, this can make it rather hazardous at times, so if you wish to go hiking the Cares route is recommended, which begins from Poncebos and finishes in Cain.
The Picos de Europa National Park was established in 1918 and covered almost 17,000 hectares. Today it covers over 64,000 hectares, with one of the main visitor centres in the Liebana valley at Sotama. For bird watchers this is an opportunity to spot some very rare breeds such as the highly endangered Cantabrian Capercaillie, the Griffon vulture, Golden eagle, and Black woodpecker. The Cantabrian brown bear can also be seen in the hilltops and woods surrounding the valleys, and occasionally the Iberian wolf is a visitor to the Park.
Hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and hang gliding are just a few activities available in the area, and there is no better place to base yourself while you are there than the Parador Fuente De (Hotel Rio Deva). Set at the foothills of the Picos, the hotel is right next to the cable car that takes visitors up to the Aliva viewpoint, where you can look down over stunning views of the Liebana Valley. A comfortable and very welcoming hotel, it is the perfect place to come back to at the end of the day.

The Picos de Europa and Costa Verde Spain
For more about the places featured in this film, see our blog:
The Picos de Europa National Park is a 647 square kilometre wonderland that straddles Asturias, Cantabria, and Castile and León in Northern Spain. Its proximity to the Atlantic coast, the Costa Verde, creates a temperate climate more akin to that of the British Isles. Golden sandy beaches are pounded by surf and craggy limestone cliffs cascade down into the cold, wild waters of the Bay of Biscay. Inland, forests of deciduous and coniferous trees sweep up towards the towering limestone monoliths, spires and peaks that crown the Picos de Europa National Park. In between lie rich alpine meadows misty with flowers. There are endless opportunities for day hikes and multi-day treks in this region, including the most popular, the Cares Gorge from Puente Poncebos to Caín and that from the mountain village of Bulnes to the Refugio de la Vega de Urriellu. Known as Picu Urriellu in Asturian, the 2,519 metre high Naranjo de Bulnes, a towering chimney of grey white Palaeozoic limestone which sits behind the refugio, is the symbol of the Picos de Europa National Park and is on every Spanish rock climber’s wish list. Both hikes are featured in this film.
PEAKS OF EUROPE | Northern Spain Travel Vlog | Picos De Europa National Park Asturias
Picos De Europa was the first National Park in Spain, known as the Peaks of Europe. This travel vlog is from Asturias in Northern Spain ...⬇ Click 'Show More' ✈ Learn to travel full-time:
As if the North of Spain couldn't get any better, we're introduced to Picos De Europa, the first National Park in Spain known in English as the Peaks of Europe. The highlight of the park could be the views, the greenery or the full blown wildlife floating around - but it's all about the glacial lakes. Theres 2 enormous glacial lakes at the peak, or there abouts, the National Park that really have to be seen to be believed.
Heading to Picos De Europa from Asturias was a pretty easy trip and a nice day of travel through the mountains. In this vlog we also travel to Gijon, a popular Spanish coastal town. The Peaks of Europe are obviously massive and take up a lot of ground, so having a car to explore and visit Gijon in the same day was vital.
This was our first time seeing the North of Spain and we loved it - it feels untapped, there's less people, less tourism and so much more to appreciate without the hustle. For a full read on what to do with 48 hours in Asturias check out our blog post:

Thanks to Spain Tourism and Turismo Asturias for inviting us to explore the North of Spain and share how amazing it is!

Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park - St Augustine, Florida #TravelTips
Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park - St Augustine, Florida #TravelTips
Expansive park showcasing 16th-century Spanish settlement, with historic village sites & cannons.
The Fountain of Youth is a spring that supposedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted across the world for thousands of years, appearing in writings by Herodotus (5th century BC), the Alexander romance (3rd century AD), and the stories of Prester John (early Crusades, 11th/12th centuries AD). Stories of similar waters were also evidently prominent among the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration (early 16th century), who spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini.
The legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century, when it was attached to the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, first Governor of Puerto Rico. According to an apocryphal combination of New World and Eurasian elements, Ponce de León was searching for the Fountain of Youth when he traveled to what is now Florida in 1513. The legend says that Ponce de León was told by Native Americans that the Fountain of Youth was in Bimini and it could restore youth to anyone.
The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park is a privately owned 15-acre (61,000 m2) park in St. Augustine, Florida, located along Hospital Creek, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. It has been touted as the likely 1513 Florida landing site of Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon, although no evidence has been found to substantiate this claim.

Places to see in ( Asturias - Spain ) Picos de Europa
Places to see in ( Asturias - Spain ) Picos de Europa
The Picos de Europa are a range of mountains 20 km inland from the northern coast of Spain, in the Autonomous Communities of Asturias, Cantabria and Castile and León; they are part of the Cantabrian Mountains. A widely accepted origin for the name is that they were the first sight of Europe for ships arriving from the Americas.
The range consists of three major massifs: Central (also known as Urrieles), Eastern (Ándara) and Western (also known as the Picos de Cornión). The Central and Western massifs are separated by the 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) deep Cares Gorge (Garganta del Cares), with the village of Caín at its head. The waters in the Cares mostly arise from cave resurgences. Some of the water in the Cares river is diverted through a hydroelectric scheme, with a canal running in the northern wall of the gorge to Camarmeña. An access path next to the canal provides a spectacular walk.
Almost all of the rock in the Picos is limestone, and glacial action has contributed to create an impressive area of alpine karst. The highest peak is Torre de Cerredo, with an altitude of 2,650 metres. Many other peaks reach altitudes of over 2,600 m. The area is popular with mountaineers, climbers and mountain walkers. There is a good network of well-established mountain refuges. The best-known climbing site is the Naranjo de Bulnes or Picu Urriellu, in the Urrieles massif which can be considered the most famous climb in Spain.
Cantabrian brown bears (Ursus arctos pyrenaicus) and wolves (Canis lupus signatus) live in the more remote regions. Rebeccos (Cantabrian chamois - Rupicapra pyrenaica parva) are fairly frequently seen (according to a 2006 Ministry of the Environment report, there were around 8,000 sightings that year); choughs and buzzards are common, various eagles and vultures are frequently seen, and there is a diverse butterfly population in the park.
Most of the region is now protected as a single Picos de Europa National Park in Cantabria, Asturias and León provinces of Spain; the Asturian part was Spain's first National Park. Access is via minor roads to each of the three massifs from the north and from the south to the aerial tramway at Fuente Dé and to Caín at the head of the Cares Canyon.
The Picos de Europa contain many of world's deepest caves, including Torca del Cerro (−1589 m), Sima de la Cornisa (−1507 m), Torca los Rebecos (−1255 m) and Pozo del Madejuno (−1252 m). Discovery of new caves and their exploration still continues.
