Hike in the Mighty Picos de Europa

If you're a keen walker or hiker, or you just like to get out and stretch your legs in the great outdoors, then you really should experience the parks and mountains of Northern Spain where an extensive network of hiking and walking routes will take you through unforgettable scenery, charming villages and amazing landscapes.

As part of your private custom tour in Spain, Totally Spain can arrange for you to enjoy one or more hikes and walks with our experienced, english speaking guides.

We especially recommend the Picos de Europa national park in the Lebaniego area of Cantabria in Northern Spain.

The Picos de Europa National Park (bordering Cantabria, Asturias & Leon) is Spain’s first national park; established in 1918, and owes its unusual name to those sea-faring discoverers of the Americas – who used the mountain peaks of the park as a landmark for not just Northern Spain but all of Europe. The park takes up 675 km sq over three regions of Northern Spain. Its highest peak is Torre de Cerredo at 2,650 metres.  It’s one of the country’s most popular natural attractions and has the biggest limestone formation on Europe’s Atlantic coast.

No matter what your fitness level is, Totally Spain can arrange for you to stay and visit the Picos de Europa while enjoying guided walks and hikes at a pace to suit you.  Our expert local guides were born and bred in the Picos so rest assured you will be in safe hands.

You only need to let your Totally Spain agent know and we can work in to your itinerary a visit to the Picos de Europa with as many activities as you wish to be included, as part of your very own custom private tour in Spain and Portugal.
