Day 2: Picos de Europa – Goats

Today we hiked 2 hours out and 2 hours back. Out was a continuous uphill climb until the point denoted by the sign pictured below. Then beyond was a gradual downhill then mostly even winding along the ridge. The trail was wide enough for two but we did most of it single file for fear of the sheer drop to certain death. The further we went into the gorge the more beautiful it became. At one point we were overcome by goats … Kyle was very pleased by this! Our guides packed us a lunch which was amazing – sandwich of fresh cheese (like a spread) walnuts, raisins and lettuce, sandwich of jamon and cheese, apple/pear, juice, snack bar. What a tiring but nice day! More pictures after this one. Now we are back on the coast in a town east of Gijon. We will leave at 9pm for a fish dinner.
