"We are in the National Park of Los Picos De Europa and a cable car takes us to the sky. We soon discover that the sky is higher. We walk along rock paths and let ourselves be guided by the birds, the air is pure and cold and we continue walking through the snowfields while the wind blows and it seems that we are flying. The storm clouds grow and we have to go back but we look back once more." — franciscobirruezo • Jul 4, 2019

"Spain. 2 day and 3 day hike. Took téléferico from Fuente Dé through clouds. Sun came out after couple of minutes. Followed sign to the right. Had to cross steep side with snow. Left backpacks. Saw the top after we went through crevasse. Amazing ridge. Went on to shelter Cabaña Veronica after. Slept in tent next to solar panel. Couldn't continue trip next day because paths were cut off and we were badly prepared for sun. Went back down passing Refugio Aliva. Drove to Poncebos. Back into the heart of the Picos for next 3 days. From stunning Ruta del Cares until Caín, through the heavy Canal de Dobresengos into a beautiful vale with view on Torre Cerredo. Climbed to a pass from which we could see Naranjo de Bulnes. Went on to Refugio Vega de Urriellu next to it. Descended last day passing Refugio Tenerosa and Bulnes before reaching Poncebos where I cooled in the Rio Cares for couple of seconds before leaving these wonderful mountains." — Pieter • Jul 5, 2016

"From Refugio Odriozola, On a Waymark Holidays trip led by Tony Rogers. We walked via Canal del Vidrio (steep and loose at one part). We climbed Peña Vieja via the NW slopes, the east peak of Picos de Santa Ana by the eastern slopes, then Torre de los Coteros Rojos via NE slopes. We descended from Cdo de la Canalona westwards and then went to the top station of the cable car for coffee – cramped, smoky and rundown looking. We returned to the hut in rain." — peter43 • Sep 13, 1994
