Amazing Cares Gorge Walk – Spain's Best One-Day Hike

Показать описание
Best one-day hike in Spain, probably even Europe? The Cares Gorge Walk (Ruta del Cares) in Asturias, in northern Spain, has to be a contender!

Join me on a stunning 25-kilometres hike along an amazingly engineered path in the dramatic northern part of the Parque Nacional de Picos de Europa. There are Indiana-Jones-style paths cut into the rock, plus tunnels, bridges and dizzying viewpoints. I've never been on a hike like it in Europe and it's guaranteed to be the highlight of your trip.

ALL THE DETAILS
The walk is from the trailhead at Poncebos (6km from the town of Arenas de Cabrales – there's a bus up to the start of the walk in summer). It takes about 3 hours to reach the small village of Caín – loads of cafes and restaurants here – and then you turn around and do it all again!

You need to be fit - it's a 25-km hike after all - but the going is flat and fairly easy. People do it in trainers, but hiking shoes or boots are best.

I have a serious question. How did you do 25 KM in only 3 hours?? We want to do this hike and 3 hours is fine, but 3 hours does not equal 25 KM of hiking. I am very confused. Please advise
