Picos de Europa day 1 - The Garganta de Cares

We set off in the dark to catch the first of the sun's rays entering the gorge. This is an out and back route from Poncebos (26km), unless transport can be arranged at Caín de Valdeon (where there is a nice bar!).

The gorge is utterly spectacular and dramatic, but was rather overcrowded on our Friday walk. An early start will reward when the light isn't so harsh.
