About Picos de Europa
Picos de Europa is a dramatic limestone massif on Spain's northern coast, a 40-kilometer-long mountain range topped by peaks over 2,500 meters elevation. The mountains rise directly from coastal plains, creating sudden drama—green valleys climbing to bare rock. Three deep gorges (Cares, Jou Jou, Jou Urrán) slice through the mountains, offering hiking that blends alpine terrain with green river valleys. This is Spain's Alpine experience.
