El Perro Negro's Day to Day Ramblings

Picos de Europa day 3 - Refugio Cabaña Verónica and Torre de Horcados Rojos

We used the cable car from Fuente Dé for access to the high mountains. A spectacular hike to the remarkable Refugio Cabaña Verónica, perched precariously on a rocky ridge. Then a loose scramble up from a col to the fine summit off the Torre de Horcados Rojos (2503m), seemingly overlooking the world!

The route up to the Cabaña Verónica rises through stonet and rocky ground with vertical cliffs on the right hand side

The small Refugio Cabaña Verónica sits on a rocky ridge. A futuristic refuge that hold just 6 persons. behind rises a dramatic mountain
