Naranjo de Bulnes

Local namePicu Urriellu
LocationSpain

The Naranjo de Bulnes is a limestone peak dating from the Paleozoic Era, located in the Macizo Central region of the Picos de Europa, Asturias. Its name Picu Urriellu is believed to be derived from the term Los Urrieles, which is used to describe the Macizo Central. Naranjo de Bulnes is part of the Cabrales region of Asturias, and lies within the Picos de Europa National Park.

The first written reference to "Picu Urriellu" as "Naranjo de Bulnes" is credited to the German geologist and engineer, Wilhelm Schulz, who, in 1855, published the first topographic and geological map of Asturias. As far as is known the etymology of this name is not clear, because, historically, the local inhabitants always referred to the mountain as "Picu Urriellu".
