Crystal-clear stream near the Cares River

Highlight • River

This crystalline stream surprises you before starting the Ruta del Cares. There is the possibility of taking a dip for those who want to cool off on hotter days.

Do not forget the towel and swimsuit if you go in the summer season!

Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful chapel right at the entrance of Bulnes de Abajo (La Villa) and open to the public so that it can be visited. It was restored a few years ago after being in ruins for about 70 years, and it bears the image of Our Lady the Virgin of Las Nieves on a discreet altarpiece and an altar, and all this behind wooden bars.

Bulnes (The Village)

Highlight • Settlement

Bulnes deserves his fame. And it is that this small and traditional town isolated in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountains, not only has incredible views at the foot of the famous Urriellu Peak, but it is also not accessible by car. Something that makes it even more unique.

Bulnes de Arriba (El Castillo)

Highlight • Settlement

Bulnes de Arriba, Bulnes El Pueblu (as it says on a sign at its entrance) or Bulnes el Castillo, is a beautiful neighborhood of Bulnes where its typical stone houses are being restored, on top of a rock and which barely has a street for the one to walk and a few meters, but it does not take away its precious views of the Texu canal or the spectacular nature of the peaks that surround it. You can climb more comfortably along a track from Bulnes de Abajo or from a steep path that is difficult to tread if the weather is somewhat adverse on the other side of the town.

June 16, 2023,Poncebos-Bulnes, Picos de Europa, Asturias, Spain

Trail is mainly uphill so get a stick or hiking poles, you may find it useful (there were plenty of woden sticks left by other hikers at the beginning of the trail). Note, we are in a rush to get back for breakfast hence we found it quite intense and sweaty :) if you want to enjoy yourself a bit …

October 9, 2022,Subida a Bulnes desde Poncebos

Note: Fantastic day going up to the town of Bulnes from Poncebos. The path is mostly cobbled (with more or less loose stone, depending on the area), with some exposed sections with quite a drop and some hard ramps that can get quite sweaty, in short, a good mountain path that you can enjoy because with the views all the …

August 24, 2025,Nordspanien - Nationalpark Picos de Europa - Bergdorf Bulnes

A hike through the Tagus River Gorge.
The trail leads along a narrow and steep path from the valley station of the "Funicular de Bulnes" funicular in Pancebos to the small mountain village of Bulnes. The village of Bulnes is still inaccessible by car; it has no road connection and until 2001 was only accessible by foot. A funicular connection …
