This is one of the most popular hikes in the Picos de Europa between two villages, Poncebos in Asturias and Caín in Leon. The route (one way) is 11 km but by car, the distance between the two villages is more than 100km. It was originally opened around 1916, and used to be the only […]
Crazy sounding name for one of the best hikes we’ve ever done! We went through so many different landscapes on this hike.
The kids and I took a short drive along the narrow windy mountain roads to try the hike by the dam we spotted the day before. Some of the trails are apparently pretty old, and were used by shepherds thousands of years ago.
We only found out about this tiny little village because we booked our airbnb here. It was about a 6 hour drive from Madrid. The highways are excellent but once we got to the mountains, the roads are narrow and full of switchbacks. The views were worth it though!

This was our last full day in Seville. We spent the morning exploring the Real Fábrica de Tabacos, followed by packing and cleaning in the afternoon.
