We arrived at Fuente De in the national park of the Picos de Europa and if you like the outdoors, and an hike or two, this is the place to visit. Breathtaking drive here - sheer peaks and green valleys with little villages nestled in between and the sound of the bells around the necks of cows and horses! Delicious artisan cheeses - some are matured in caves - a speciality here - strong strong blue cheeses and pungent goats cheese! For a moment, I thought we were in Switzerland! Also great to be out of the oppressive heat of the centre of Spain -it was 45deg when we were in Toledo-too hot to walk around. When the temp in our car hit 14deg while we were driving through clouds in the mts, we gave a sigh of relief.
Yesterday we took the cable car up Valdecoro and tramped through breathtaking landscapes with eagles and vultures flying overhead, some snow still nestled in crevices high above us -and 25deg is the right temp for this sort of thing!
And these beautiful horses also enjoying
the fresh mountain air.
There's the snow!-there was plenty more, but much higher up with these amazing jagged peaks as far as the eye could see.
