Naranjo de Bulnes Trip, Picos de Europa

Published October 1, 2014

We have just returned from a brilliant trip to the Picos de Europa. The focus was to climb the impressive Naranjo de Bulnes, a tower of rock and one of the most sought after peaks in Spain and one which is only accessible to climbers. We had great weather for this and enjoyed a temperature inversion from the summit and some great climbing and mountaineering.

While not on the Naranjo we enjoyed other great mountaineering routes, such as the La Rosa Spur on the Cueto Pampin and the alpine rock face of the Fresnidiello, a big wall leading to a ridge and peak set in spectacular surroundings.

The Picos is a brilliant place to go climbing and mountaineering with routes suitable for all levels of experience, we look forward to going back!
