El Perro Negro's Day to Day Ramblings

Picos de Europa day 2 - Sotres to Tielve

We did this hike as the holiday weekend crowds had closed the road to the Urriellu area. This was an impromptu alternative. Glad we did it as it gave us a glimpse of pretty alpine meadows and sleepy hamlets with distant views to the dramatic Naranja de Bulnes and other peaks. Too hot to complete the circular from Tielve so we sat in a bar instead and had some cold drinks.

The peak of Naranja de Bulnes dominates the upper left. A range of mountains continues in the background. In the foreground is a sunlit gorge

A huge shadowed peak soars up to the left. In the middle foreground lies a small hamlets of cabins sat in the trees
