The Pico de Europa National Park offers visitors a treasure trove of walking routes, taking you through contrasting scenery of limestone peaks, meadows full of wildflowers in the spring and deep-green forested valleys.

This region is so pristine that it is home to Griffon vultures, Golden eagles and many other bird species, whilst also offering a rare chance to see wild boar, wolves and even bears. The mountain villages you will visit, such as Tielve, Stores and Potes show how life has continued for centuries, with life revolving around the landscape, as the farmers tend their livestock in this dramatic and awe-inspiring location.

The welcoming family-run Hotel Torrecerredo is the perfect base this self-guided walking holiday in the Picos de Europa. Just a few minutes' walk will find you in the centre of Arenas De Cabrales, the gateway to the National Park and a great place to do some shopping and sampling of the local cuisine. Take the walks at your own pace, choosing from active to more challenging options, or take a day off and enjoy your time relaxing at the hotel enjoying the delicious home cooked, traditional cuisine.
