Picos de Europa Inn to Inn Walking Holiday

Walk between rural inns, and from mountain to meadow to medieval village, on the richest and most varied Picos experience you can have on two feet.

Our carefully-crafted route is the only Inn to Inn walking route which provides the full diversity of the three provinces of the Picos de Europa: Cantabria, León and Asturias. Traverse the range from south to north, from the lush valleys of Liebana to the rocky summit of Fuente Dé and out through the dramatic Cares Gorge.

Enjoy reading this taster itinerary. Please Request Full Details if you'd like to know more, or to discuss how we can tailor this holiday for you.
