Description

Join me on this 4-day exciting trekking program in Picos de Europa, in northern Spain. Picos de Europa is part of the beautiful Cantabrian mountians. On this tour we will trek along the La Hermida Gorge.

This program will take us to gorgeous mountain villages like San Esteban de Cuñaba, Tresviso, Bejes and La Hermida. In order to get there, we will hike on ancient trails used by the shepherds in this area already 3,000 years ago.

We will also walk by and across beautiful beech, oak, oak and holly forests. Another element that makes this tour different and special is spending the nights in remote cottages.

Given that it includes technical passes, and the wilderness of the terrain, this program is not suitable for beginners.

Groups for this program are private groups and between 4 and 10 hikers.

The equipment you will need for this tour includes: three layer system clothing, lantern, proper footwear (trekking shoes or boots), thin gloves, food for each day, hat or cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, trekking sticks, thermal t-shirt and waterproof jacket.

Trekking Guide

My name is Andrés de la Torre and I´m on of the lead guides at Guías de Picos. I'm a Middle Mountain Sports Technician AEGM, deeply knowledgeable of the Cantabrian Mountains and Picos de Europa.

Always thinking of new and different activities, the routes I propose are not limited to walking through beautiful places... you will remember the experience for life!

With a degree in Digital Journalism, I try to organize innovative programs that value local resources and traditions.

I can not conceive the mountain without friends and I believe that there is no better experience than a bivouac under the stars.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
