Picos de Europa Peaks & Passes

Established in 1918 as Spain's first national park, the Picos de Europa encompasses three distinct limestone massifs: the Macizo Central (Urrieles), Macizo Occidental (Cornión), and Macizo Oriental (Ándara). This list features prominent summits like Torre Cerredo, the highest point at 2,648 meters, and the iconic limestone monolith of Picu Urriellu. These peaks are characterized by dramatic vertical drops, glacial lakes, and high-altitude mountain passes connecting the provinces of Asturias, Cantabria, and León.
