Description
This excursion will take you to discover Bulnes, one of the most impressive and emblematic corners of the Picos de Europa. A natural jewel that combines spectacular landscapes, picturesque villages and unique traditions.
We will start the day in the direction of Poncebos, following the course of the Cares River. During the journey, you will enjoy a landscape where the mountains rise majestically and the 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, starting point of the famous Cares Route. Known as 'La Garganta Divina', this route crosses an impressive gorge that offers unforgettable views of the Cares Gorge, a natural canyon sculpted 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 scenery.
- Bulnes funicular: We will head to the funicular that will take us to Bulnes, a small and charming village hidden in the heart of the Picos de Europa to which there is no road access. The funicular ride, which takes just 8 minutes, is a unique experience: completely subway, it crosses the mountain and allows access to one of the most isolated and authentic villages in Asturias. Bulnes village.
- Village of Bulnes: Once in Bulnes, you will be immersed in an environment that seems untouched by the passage of time. Its cobbled streets, its houses of traditional architecture and the tranquility that is breathed make it an ideal place to disconnect since there is no coverage. Here, you can visit the small chapel of Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, a place full of charm, or climb to the viewpoint, from where you will enjoy the stunning views of the Picu Urriellu (Naranjo de Bulnes), one of the most iconic peaks in Spain and a symbol of inspiration for mountaineers and travelers from around the world.
- Cave of Cabrales Cheese: We will continue our excursion to Arenas de Cabrales, cradle of one of the most appreciated traditions of Asturias: the elaboration 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 that has made Cabrales cheese one of the hallmarks of Asturian gastronomy.
To end 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, thus closing an unforgettable day.
