Trekking in Spain

The varied and dramatic landscape that is available in Spain provides an opportunity for Trekking in Spain. Spain is a mountainous region and is regarded as the second largest mountainous region of the world. The abundant mountains provide an opportunity for Trekking in Spain regardless of the age, ability or the taste of a person.

In the northern part of the country of Spain lies the Spanish Pyrenees and can be the apt place for Trekking in Spain. Between the months of April and September, is the perfect time for an expedition of trekking in this region. It is because during the time of winter the weather is very harsh making it impossible to pass the mountain trails and often hazardous. It is necessary to carry proper weather gear with oneself because of the sudden hail storms during the summers.

The Picos de Europa, also known as the Peaks of Europe is considered as the best and the well accepted place for Trekking in Spain. The place includes many mountain peaks, canyons, gorges and fertile valleys that divide the Asturias and Cantabria. The area is the home place of such wild species as the wild boar, wolves, chamois, fire salamanders and the brown bears. The place is filled up with trekkers during the summer season though the crowds are much thinner in the upper reaches of the region. The most thrilling place of the region is the Macizo Occidental and Macizo Central. One can choose from the varied trips available for trekking in this region. The available trips include walking during the day or a four day journey from the base of the cabin lifts at Fuente Di and of course a nine day trip to and fro to Lago de Ercina. One would regret to miss out the seven and a half mile trekking journey through Garganta del Cares gorge and the Vega de Liordes valley. On the way of trekking the mountain huts known as the “Refugios” are available for taking rest. Also available at the bottom of the valleys is the village accommodation.
