Off to a slow start
2 Temmuz 2019, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
All the blogs said get to Fuente De early otherwise you can wait in line for 2-3 hours to take the gondola to the beginning of the trailheads in the Picos De Europa. The other option is to walk which takes you 3 hours vs. a 3 minute and 40 second cable car ride. I got there at 7:50 am and I was the only car in the parking lot. I walked around. No employees. No signs of life. No signs in English. I was hoping it wasn’t some holiday and closed. So I walked over to the Parador (pictured below) and had breakfast. Around 9:00am I wondered back to the Gondola and there were about 30 people around lined up for tickets. Turns they open the Gondola and ticket office around 10am. Turns out “early” by American vs Spanish standards means something different. Stood in line talking to a couple from Ireland, we were moving in opposite directions as they had just hiked the Cares Gorge the day before and the Lakes of Covadonga the previous day. As I stood in line looking at the mountains covered in clouds it was reminiscent of Poon Hill in Nepal and our 4 am hike to the top of a mountain to catch the sunrise over the Himalayas only to see clouds. I was already shifting my mindset to and expectations and figured I would just have a quiet day hiking around the area, and would forego the idea of getting to Horcados Rojos. My jaw dropped during the last 30 seconds of the gondola ride when we broke through the clouds and were above them. It was indescribable.Okumaya devam et

Picos de Europa - Peaks of Europe
24 Ekim 2018, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
The Picos de Europa are made up of three limestone massifs reaching 2648m and straddle southwest Cantabria (from where we visited), northern Castilla y Leon and southeast Asturias. They offer some of the best walking country and scenery in Spain.

We took the motorbike and travelled through spectacular mountain roads and villages to Fuente Dé, where we took a cable car 753m up to the sheer southern wall of the Picos' central massif at 1823m. Our Lonely Planet guide told us that from here, there was an easy 3.5km one-hour walk to the Hotel Aliva where we would find refreshments. Sounded like a good plan and so off we set, mostly downhill. We reached the hotel only to find it was closed down, so there was nothing for it but to turn around, at which point we realised just how far down we had come. The hike back uphill was a bit of a killer but we made it and could say that we had really hiked the Picos. We were reminded of our trip still several days later as we could hardly walk! But, as our nephew George pointed out, at least we don't have any stairs in the motorhome to negotiate!Okumaya devam et

Einer der höchsten Berge dieses Gebirges. Warum machen wir das? Ein entspannter Spaziergang am Meer würde doch auch gehen.
Aber nö, wir stehen auf sowas. Und während der Schweiß von Händen und Gesicht tropft, arbeiten wir uns Schritt für Schritt nach oben.
Interessanterweise habe ich versucht, nach der Besteigung in den Pyrenäen, auch mal nur einen Tagesrucksack zu packen, und bin wieder mit so einem Riesending unterwegs...woher kommt dieses ganze Zeug?
Gut, andere laufen hier in Turnschuhen hoch, was ich auch nicht ganz verstehen kann.Okumaya devam et

Enforced socialisation
2 Haziran 2018, Ispanya ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
No escape from being sociable, or at least pretending. In a fit of optimism signed up for the day trip in to the Picos & swiftly regretted it afterwards but it'll do me good... Grudgingly particpated in the market activity - speculated that if aliens were amongst us would we be able tell them apart from some the bizarre looking things that were on display in the seafood stalls. For all we know some Spaniard is chowing down on an emissary from Alpha Centauri & he thinks it's a crab. My mind wasn't focussed. The day trip was to take in 2 stops - Potes, a mountain village(ish) & Fuente de, a cable car up into the Picos proper. On the way we went past the village we'd be staying in so that would give me a little navigational help. The road to Potes was windy, bendy overload but very dramatic. On arrival it was already lunch time - not a fast process. Once done, inevitably the tower with a view had closed for the day. Ho hum. Took a walk along the river & mooched around town. Still - should be views in the Picos - assuming the cloud holds off - bit hit & miss (showers & sun in Potes) The cable car sped us upto the snow level (temp going down from 21 to 12) & thankfully some stunning views of the mountains & the alpine pastures. Weird to think of snow in Spain in June. Only time for a little walk around & then back down. Both places deserved longer really - the joys of coach party day trips.Okumaya devam et

Wow! Das war eine abwechslungsreiche, aber auch sehr strenge Wanderung (der Abstieg war steinig und schwer...)

Beautiful hike up to the top. Exhilaration and tears. My first stop with Koda. I hope he enjoys the view.

Ultimo día en Picos de Europa
26 Temmuz 2023, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Amanecimos en Posadas y marchamos a Fuente Dé. El viaje, con tanta obra y semáforos, se alargó más de la cuenta. Otra vez llegamos al inicio de la ruta pasadas las 11 de la mañana.
Empezamos una rutita de un par de kilómetros, a la sombra para evitar en lo posible la transformación de Fiona en princesita ( Ver huella del día anterior). Cogimos agua de por si acaso y marchamos a pasear. Siguiendo los carteles que nos iban gustando nos metimos en una bajada potente de 4 kilómetros para llegar al pueblo de Pido.
¿Pueblo? Más bien conjunto de casas con alguna farola y calles asfaltadas. No tenía plaza, ni punto común, ni un bar...
Tocó darse la vuelta y comenzar la subida con, a veces princesita, a veces orco.
Al final fueron 10 kilómetros (9,500 ella sola) y el último tramo aún tenía fuerzas para saltar y jugar. Que miedo cuando tenga 1 año y salgamos al monte.
Volvimos a Potes. Ducha y comida a las 6 de la tarde ( un clásico este viaje), lavadora y camino a Aguilar de Campoo.
La vuelta por el puerto es, digamos que interesante. Subida brutal, medianamente cómoda mientras estás en Cantabria. Absolutamente horrible desde que entra en Palencia.
Al final, tras un eterno ir a 30, llegamos a Cervera y de allí a Aguilar.Okumaya devam et
