Book review - Picos De Europa: Car Tours and Walks




My score: 4/5

This book is great tool for planning where to go in the Picos for superb walks (as many of the walks are in the Picos). We were based in Potes, a small town about two hours drive from Santander. It has a great selection of restaurants, bars and is a handy place from which start walks due to the road network and public transport links.

We did three walks from Picos De Europa: Car Tours and Walks the best of which was the amazing Fuente De walk, featuring a stunning cable car ride.

There is a wide selection of walks suitable for all levels of walker. The instructions are clear and  relevant (and landmarks were still in existence as of September 2010).

Each walk has a lot of descriptions about historical, geographic and natural features on the routes which you may find distracting or extremely interesting.
