Miscellaneous Picos de Europa National Park - Spain

Tour of the Picos - English Version

Picos de Europa National Park at 1:50,000 on an excellent GPS compatible map highlighting three hiking routes which can be combined into a Tour of the Picos, plus descriptions of the routes in English and lists of mountain huts and refuges.

The map covers the whole of the National Park area and extends north and west beyond its borders to include Potes and other surrounding villages.

Very fine cartography provides an excellent presentation of the terrain through contours at 20m intervals enhanced by relief shading and altitude colouring, numerous spot heights, and plenty of names of peaks and other topographic features.

Symbols highlight locations of campsites, mountain huts, refuges and hostels, as well as petrol stations on local roads. The map has a 1-km UTM grid.

A special feature of this map is an overprint highlighting three long-distance hiking routes: a circuit of the western massif, a traverse of the central and the eastern massifs, plus additional stages which together with parts of the first two routes can be combined into a Tour of the Picos de Europa.

On the reverse the three routes have stage-by-stage descriptions, illustrated with colour photos. Also provided are details of local mountain huts and refuges.
