PART 7: PICOS Site Tours and Arrival

We take a break from the action / vertigo camera shots and show you around 2 of the 6 places we stayed at during our holiday in the PICOS.

Camping Naranjo de Bulnes near the town of Las Arenas 4 nights:

We chose this site because it was the most convenient location to hike the Cares Gorge. It was around 5 miles to Poncebos where the hike starts. (8 Euro’s each way in a taxi)
The site was split across either side of the road with facilities on both sides. We chose to be near the river under the shade of trees. The facilities were very good and clean; the only negatives were no hot water in the washroom sinks and the mats in the showers were extremely non slip to the point your feet would stick to them! The restaurant was pleasant and good value for money, a must is to try the cider machine, its not expensive and lots of fun!

Camping La Virona near the town of Potes 3 nights

We chose this site because it was within walking distance of the beautiful town of Potes and was within a bus ride of Fuente De where you can catch a cable car up the mountain to some spectacular walks. This site is more family orientated as it had a large pool. Again the facilities were very good and clean.

We would thoroughly recommend both sites for the location, facilities and access to great activities in the PICOS National Park.
Both sites are just over an hour from the Ferry at Santander so you can be straight off the boat into enjoying your holiday without a tiring long drive.
