Summary

Our tours will take you there to experience that diversity, the heart & authenticity of Spain.  Fly direct from Dublin to Santander.  We take you direct to the Picos de Europa to the Romanesque town of Cangas de Onis.  We start the first of 4 walking routes here.  It takes you through the most spectacular & emblematic places of the Picos, including  the three Massifs of the mountain range where you will enjoy the different landscapes that comprise this National Park.  The walks vary from 13km – 15km of exciting hill walking, guided by a local profesional guide who shares with you his knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology & much of the local history.

Each walk finishes in a picturesque local village deep in the valleys where you will stay in a rustic hotel, called “hostal”, meet the local people, interact with them, enjoy their culture, customs & cuisine.   

We will visit the Valporquero caves of the Montes de Leon with an option to take on a 3.5km exploration through the heart of the cave system.  Finally we visit the city of León, originally constructed by Roman Legio VI Victrix in 28BC.  It is the city of the first parliament in Europe in 1188 & where the Kingdom of Spain began with Alfonso IX.  Medieval León boasts Gaudi architecture, Gothic catedral with stunning stained glass, Barrio de Humedo & the Chalice of the Last Supper.  You return home via the AVE “bullet train” to Madrid & fly back to Dublin filled with the joys of discovery of a Spain you never knew about & leaving a want in you to discover more.
