On the 7th we drove into the mountainous Picos de Europa national park arriving at the Teleférico Fuente Dé. We climbed into a (cozy) cable car and were hauled up to an altitude of 1823 metres.

From the top station the views were simply spectacular. Many people were content to take in the sights but many were setting off on hikes through the mountains of four hours or more (we managed to resist that temptation!).
