After Los Lagos, we went to a different part of the same mountain range, called Picos de Europa. We were debating whether to take the train through the middle of the mountain to the pueblo near the peak or walk; we decided to walk, and I’m glad we did. Not only did we save the twenty Euros for the train ride, we were surrounded by mountains for the entire hike up. The trail leading to the top follows a river that has cut a nice valley between two peaks. The hike probably took a little more than an hour, but it was well worth it. Once we reached the top, we sat and had a couple of beers and lunch in the pueblo (named Bulnes, the residents live relatively tax-free because the government wants that the pueblo remain as it is, which is great). The hike down was easier but a bit more nerve wrecking, as the rocks can be a bit slippery (and maybe Toms aren’t the best shoes in which to go hiking).
