Llanes, a beautiful fishing village on the Asturian coast.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">Day 2:<\/span>\u00a0 Canyoning and Surfing\/SUP<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Canyoning:\u00a0<\/span>descending a limestone river gorge which has been forged by melt water flowing down from the high peaks. This activity takes you, dressed in thick warm and protective wetsuits, into natural pools, water chutes and jumps, all in beautiful natural surroundings. In the afternoon,\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Surfing or SUP:<\/span>\u00a0 Northern Spain, and the area around Llanes in particular, has some of the best surfing beaches in Europe. If the waves are too small to surf, this activity will be replaced by stand-up paddleboarding.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">Day 3:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Canoeing<\/span><\/p><p>Canoeing on the beautiful Rio Cares.\u00a0 Then transfer to Sotres, which at 1000m is the highest village in the Picos de Europa national park.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">Day 4:<\/span>\u00a0The Aliva Glacier Valley<\/span><\/p><p>The spectacular Aliva Glacier Valley is also part of the GR-202 long-distance footpath, the Ruta de la Reconquista. The route starts in Sotres, dropping down to a collection of red-roofed shepherd huts known as the Vegas del Toro, the area is surrounded by grassland with many free-roaming cows, goats and sheep. It then starts to ascend following the Duje River, which divides the Central and Eastern Massifs and crosses the border between Asturias and Cantabria. From here it continues along the top of the lateral moraine of the long disappeared Aliva glaciers to the Aliva Mountain Refuge, which has superb views of the glacier valley and the massive peaks of Pe\u00f1a Vieja and Pe\u00f1a Olvidada towering above.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">Day 5:<\/span>\u00a0 Summit of the Horcados Rojos and the Caba\u00f1a Veronica Refuge<\/span><\/p><p>This day\u2019s route leads from the Aliva Mountain Refuge to Horcados Rojos, above the majestic Fuente D\u00e9 glacial cirque. The summit of Horcados Rojos (2,503 m) is a magnificent peak in the Central Massif, accessible by its NW side. Along the way, it passes through the alpine mountain environment of the Picos de Europa. On the way back, there is a stop off at Caba\u00f1a Veronica mountain refuge, which was constructed using the anti aircraft emplacement of an US aircraft carrier, the USS Palau. From there the route continues to El Cable where you will descend in the cable car to Fuente D\u00e9. Transfer to Ca\u00edn.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">Day 6:<\/span>\u00a0 The Cares Gorge Trail<\/span><\/p><p>The Cares Gorge, with its narrow passes and gullies, is right in the heart of the Picos de Europa mountains. The area\u2019s stunning landscape affords unique views of the National Park. Trekking this route is a unique experience; the trail is narrow, surrounded by wild vegetation and with water ever-present. The river flows along the valley-floor, its sound a constant companion. Now and again the path takes you through small tunnels carved through the rock and across bridges that hang over the abyss. All the while, rocky mountainside towers up on either side of the trail. The trail runs between Ca\u00edn, in Leon and Poncebos, in Asturias. It follows the course of the Cares river, the region\u2019s wildest and most beautiful river, covering 12 kilometers over easy terrain.\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n
