The Picos are a limestone massif rising to 2,600 m just 20 km from the Atlantic, with deep gorges, cable-car access to high terrain and a strong tradition of blue cheese and cider. The Cares Gorge walk is the signature route, cut into the cliff between Poncebos and Caín. Weather changes fast and cloud can close the Fuente Dé cable car.
