Thanks a lot! I know what you mean! The picos are absolutely insane!

Looks amazing!

I'll be going in a few weeks. Is it a known / maintained trail? i'd be interested depending on how long / difficult it is :)

Inutopian OP t1_jcypswn wrote

It sure is. It's about 25km and takes around 6 hrs.

Norobis t1_jcyv3iz wrote

Could you let me know the name the trail ?

Inutopian OP t1_jcywqcs wrote

Absolutely, I should have said that, sorry. It's the Ruta del Cares

25k in 6 hrs???? Isn’t that crazy fast?

2

Inutopian OP t1_jd1rdy3 wrote

Haha nah that's not too bad. It usually takes around 10 mins to walk a kilometer. Obviously on the trail some of those take a bit longer that that though!

Very cool and other-wordly. What's lighting up the orange rocks in the foreground? A reflection?

Inutopian OP t1_jcyhbtn wrote

Thanks very much! I'm not certain. Could be reflected sunlight. There was a lot bouncing about as overall it was a very bright place

I've honestly never seen another place on earth like this. We were so lucky to have perfect conditions as we trecked through the park a few weeks back. The way the higher snow covered mountains are lit up, almost luminous by the mid day sun just blew my mind!

If you'd like to see some more of my stuff you could take a look at my Instagram page
Cheers!

Never thought I would see a landscape from home here! Is that the Cantabrian or Asturian side?

Amazing work :)

Inutopian OP t1_jcywkyt wrote

Ah gracias! Y dime, eres de España verde? De que parte?

Estas fotos tomé en Asturias!

Mrbid67 t1_jcyxz7h wrote

Soy de Cantabria, la comunidad vecina a Asturias :)
Picos es un paraje que, por más que visito, sigue sorprendiendo.

Me alegra que hayas tenido la oportunidad de visitarlo y compartirlo!

Inutopian OP t1_jcyz5zy wrote

Siii, de acuerdo! Los picos son tan hermosos como enormes! 😃

Soy de Escocia, pero vivo en Llanes en este momento. Lo conoces?

Aunque, en el futuro probablemente voy a mover a Cantabria. Santander exactamente. Es una ciudad que me encanta 😊

Soy del Norte de Portugal, pero mi familia ha vivido en San Vicente de La Barquera, a la derecha de Llanes y a la izquierda de Santander.
Conozco Santander, Torrelavega, Gijon, Llanes, Panes, Unquera, Santillana del Mar (tiene un zoo), Cabarceno (el mayor y mejor zoo que he visto. Es como un Safari. Es el Parque Jurássico)

Conozco Covadonga y subimos muchas veces de coche a los lagos en los Picos de Europa.
Me recuerdo del teleférico que subia hasta las nubes, y en la parte de abajo tenia un show con aguillas e búhos.

Me encantaba San Vicente De La Barquera , porque tienes El oceano en un lado, los Picos de Europa al fundo, y Los campos Verdes de Cantábria al redor.
És un sitio mágico.

En la foto vez la villa de San Vicente. La Barquera es de onde se tiro foto.

Visita Cabarceno, Covadonga, los lagos, san vicente, Santillana....ai tanto para ver.
Todo de bien para ti.

Me encantaba, al passar por Asturias, ver las cabras en las escarpas de las montañas 😆

PS: en la foto puedes ver un monte como que redondo. Esso es Naranjo de Bulnes, y me recuerdo que es una escalada muy peligrosa y que mucha gente ha murido alla.

If you ever come to the Basque Country you can check Urbia at Aizkorri natural park, Anboto and Txindoki natural parks

This is one of the best photos I've ever seen, not kidding. Jesus.

Dude, thanks so much! 😮

Just had a look at your other photos! They are out of this world! Outstanding work, huge respect...from a guy who's only been doing photography for a year haha

Lovely of you to say mate, thanks very much!

What an amazing photo. Sell it to NatGeo or something! 🙂

Amazing. I've wanted to visit this area so badly since first seeing photos of it a few years back.

uwillmire t1_jczhjmf wrote

Beautiful! What time of year is best for hiking there? Not too cold and not too sweaty? Also is it possible to stay in huts or is a tent needed for multiday hikes?

2

Inutopian OP t1_jczkjei wrote

I mean I always say winter is best for hiking. Much better for temperature control than when it's warmer. And snow is awesome, so there's that too.

Ruta del Cares is probably the most gorgeous route in Spain 🥰

Inutopian OP t1_jczt6uu wrote

It's got to be! It has to be one of the most beautiful routes in the world in my opinion!

Hey, this is fantastic! I haven't looked at an image like this in a while! Seriously, I've been entranced by this. Are those people sitting on that ledge? Great shot!
