Spanning Asturias, Cantabria, and Castile and León, the Picos de Europa National Park features dramatic limestone massifs and the highest peak in the Cantabrian Mountains, Torre Cerredo. The park contains the iconic Naranjo de Bulnes peak and the historical Covadonga sanctuary, which includes a cliffside cave and a neo-Romanesque basilica. High-altitude highlights include glacial lakes and the unique Cabaña Verónica mountain refuge, providing a remote base for exploring the central massif.
