Picos

We found a site in the acsi book in the Picos mountains and headed there. It looked lovely and, for the most part, I'd rather be in the mountains than the big city. Anywhere countryside, lake, river, but I much prefer nature to the hustle and bustle of built up areas.



La Viorna is a lovely site, high up in the hills and a bit of a trek to get to. The views of the Picos mountains makes it worthwhile though. We drove up and picked a pitch overlooking the pool. Very nice indeed.

The site was full of climber types who were there to scale the mountains, to one degree or another. Not so for us, we enjoyed the views and had a lovely cooked breakfast while they packed their gear and energy bars.




The next day we drove (ok, we could have walked) in to Potes. A very attractive village which was clearly extremely popular with tourists from home and abroad, judging by the number of coaches ferrying people in and out of the centre.

We spent the afternoon taking pictures, and taking in the lovely village before heading back for some well deserved dinner.



Potes struck me very much as a, day visit, kind of village, nothing wrong with that, there are plenty like that, the world over. Even so, it's a calm pleasant place to spend a day. Very nice indeed.
