Spain – Trek, Canyon, Bike, Canoe: Beaches of Llanes

 


The nature of this trip is to traverse the majestic Picos de Europa National Park from the south to the north, from the high rocky summits to the white sand beaches of the coast.

This traverse takes us to the most characteristic areas of the Picos de Europa, the highlight being reaching the highest point at the base of the Naranjo de Bulnes, the most emblematic mountain of the Picos with it’s 500m vertical wall.

The walk will also take us through high pastures where the last shepherds of the Picos still live a traditional life and along historical trails like the roman path across the Picos. We will also experience the excitement of canyoning and relaxing while paddling in the beautiful Deva River. We will finish our voyage enjoying a cycle ride along the cliffs and beaches of the coast.
