Robin Walker’s Cicerone guide to walking and climbing the Picos de Europa in Spain is an ideal companion for your trip. It covers the whole of the Picos de Europa: a massive limestone range straddling the autonomous regions of Asturias, Cantabria and Castilla-Leon and lies to the north of the central section of the Cordillera Cantabrica, which run the length of Spain’s Atlantic shore.

This guide provides a wide variety of mountain routes and valley-based walks in addition to multi-day tours through the Western, Central and Eastern massifs of the Picos. There is a also a section on mountaineering in winter for those so inclined and a general list of routes that are not to be missed on any visit to the Picos. These practical elements are supplemented by information on the topography, geology, climate, flora and fauna and history of the Picos. Hand-drawn maps and colour photographs also help to bring alive the beauty of one of Span’s most-visited walking destinations.
