Itinerary description

Hike around Posada de Valdeón with the Los Picos de Europa as backdrop.

Stunning views on a hike that goes partly through the woods, passing some very villages with those typical high rised barns (Hórreo) and loose cows walking everywhere.

After visiting Mirador de Cruz the hike goes steep uphill through the woods. But after that it’s an easy downhill walk with lots of things to see.
