15 Ándara Peaks, Eastern Massif of the Picos de Europa
In the Eastern Massif of Picos de Europa, the most modest peaks of the National Park rise, but they are no less attractive for being lower.Its views make up for its modesty and enhance its presence and history, as well as that of the Massif, which has managed to recover after suffering significant human activity through mining operations. It is still a place where you can enjoy wild, uncrowded terrain, which gives it a very important added value in these times of crowded and overcrowded tourism.
We will climb 15 exceptional summits during 3 intense but wonderful days in these beautiful mountains, stayingIt is in the only refuge in the Massif, the Casetón de Ándara, which makes up for its modesty with excellent and friendly treatment, which we will also enjoy.
