Trip to Picos da Europa

[nezz]

hi again early bay fans

don´t know if this thread should go here. if it´s in the wrong place, please tell me :wink:

in September I went for a two week trip with my '72 bay to Picos da Europa, Astúrias, northern Spain

on the first day we travelled from Ferreira do Zêzere (near Tomar, centre of Portugal) to Salamanca - 408km

on the road

already in Salamanca

and the camping site

more pics to come

the next day we made Salamanca-Riaño (307km)

still in spanish long endless straight lines

until we get to Cistierna, before the first hills. there are plenty of Defenders in north spain

and then we finally got to Riaño. this was our camp site, that had a wonderful view and a very curious pet

and by nightfall

Day 3 - Riaño-Cangas de Onis

after a rainy night, the day woke up warm and shiny

 

[nezz]

this was the day to enter Picos da Europa. we were very excited for that moment

until we finally get there

for those who have gone there, this last pic doesn´t show how big Picos da Europa are, but you can have an idea of it in this next photo. the van is in the low right corner

still on 3rd day...

towards Cangas de Onis the mountain roads are the kings and I love them

 

[nezz]

after the mountain roads, perfect for motorcycling trips, the road ahead continued the same

before Cangas de Onis, we had to go trough Desfiladeiro de los Beyos, 15km of a fantastic road over the river Sella
