Description

This excursion will take you to discover Bulnes, one of the most impressive and emblematic corners of the Picos de Europa. A natural gem that combines spectacular landscapes, picturesque villages, and unique traditions. We will start the day heading towards Poncebos, following the course of the Cares River. Along the way, you will enjoy a landscape where the mountains rise majestically and small rural villages seem to have stopped in time. The beauty of this mountainous environment will accompany you every step of the way. In Poncebos, the starting point of the famous Cares Route. Known as 'La Garganta Divina' (The Divine Gorge), this route passes through an impressive gorge offering unforgettable views of the Cares Gorge, a natural canyon carved out by the erosion of the river between the steep rock walls. This experience is ideal for connecting with nature and enjoying the serenity of the landscape. - Bulnes Funicular: We will head to the funicular that will take us to Bulnes, a small, charming village hidden in the heart of the Picos de Europa, which cannot be reached by road. The funicular ride, which lasts just 8 minutes, is a unique experience: completely underground, it passes through the mountain and provides access to one of the most isolated and authentic villages in Asturias. - Village of Bulnes: Once in Bulnes, you will be immersed in an environment that seems untouched by the passage of time. Its cobbled streets, traditional houses and peaceful atmosphere make it an ideal place to disconnect, as there is no cell phone coverage. Here, you can visit the small chapel of Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, a place full of charm, or climb up to the viewpoint, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of Picu Urriellu (Naranjo de Bulnes), one of the most iconic peaks in Spain and a symbol of inspiration for mountaineers and travelers from all over the world. - Cabrales Cheese Cave: We will continue our excursion by traveling to Arenas de Cabrales, the birthplace of one of the most cherished traditions in Asturias: the production of the famous Cabrales cheese. During our visit to the Cheese Cave, you will learn about the artisanal process of making this delicacy, a method that has been passed down from generation to generation and has made Cabrales cheese one of the hallmarks of Asturian cuisine. To round off the experience, we will enjoy a tasting of Cabrales cheese accompanied by Asturian cider, a combination that perfectly reflects the authentic character and essence of this region. This tasting will allow you to savor the richness and tradition of Asturian products, bringing an unforgettable day to a close. Book now and discover the Picos de Europa in a way that will thrill you. You'll love it!
