Picos de Europa - day 5

Spectacular morning departure from the Refugio Jermoso with cloud inversion until this all cleared at the Las Colladinas. Then it was a rough descent to the green, lush valley of the Vega de Liordes before bad weather arrived. Beautiful views of surrounding mountain summits. We past some ancient mines before descending steep zig-zags back to Fuente Dé. How on earth did they make that incredible path?

A spectacular gray and orange pyramid mountain (Torre de las Minas de Carbón 2483m) is at the back with some hikers passing in front in the foreground

The peak of Torre de las Minas de Carbón 2483m rises like a huge pyramid into the sky, clad in gray and orange stone. In the foreground the silhouette of two hikers

Some clouds gather in the west, blow is a small lake nestled between crags. To the right in shadow are a small group of hikers making their way along a narrow mountain track

The start of the very steep descent to Fuente Dé. Bad weather dark cloud gather to the right. The green fields of Fuente De can be see below
