The Picos de Europa Natural Park covers the territory of Asturias, Cantabria and Leon. It is the Leonese side that we want to talk about, less visited than the Asturian side, but of equal beauty and natural attraction. Not to say that it is more unique for not being so «known».
The route is not circular, so if you do not want to walk more than 11 kilometers you will have to agree with someone to pick you up or exchange vehicles and that one leaves from Cain and the other from Poncebos.
If you are passionate about hiking, the Ruta del Cares originally started in Posada de Valdeón (León) and is 10 kilometers longer. The route is also very nice, although it forces you to take into account other transportation and lodging options.
The hunters were equipped with a «venablo» or «chuzo», a spear with which they helped themselves to whip the animal, so that it would fall into the Chorco or be able to kill it in the final stretch of the palisade if it refused to continue on its way to the Chorco. The people in charge of these positions were chosen among the strongest and bravest of the people of the Valley.

Fauna The faunistic richness of the Regional Park can be described as exceptional because all the Cantabrian fauna is represented in it. The uniqueness of this fauna lies in the fact that here we find the southern limit of many species typical of northern Europe and the northern limit of many species of Mediterranean distribution.
Another tourist potential of the Regional Park are the Houses of the Regional Park of Picos de Europa; interpretation centers with exhibitions, museums, audiovisual rooms, libraries connected to the Internet, which represent real information points for any topic within the Regional Park, and that serves the hiker or curious as a starting point to get to know this space. They are located in the towns of Puebla de Lillo and Lario.
To complete the offer of activities in the territory, in addition to traditional hunting and fishing, the Regional Park has a ski resort in Puerto de San Isidro, two large reservoirs where you can practice all kinds of water sports, climbing areas, etc..

Be it known to all citizens that the Cortes de Castilla y León have approved, and I in the name of the King and in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.3 of the Statute of Autonomy, enact and order the publication of the following
The climatic and relief conditions of the northwest of the province of León, together with its historical development, have made possible the permanence, in a good state of conservation, of ecosystems typical of the Eurosiberian region, which have as their most significant expression extensive areas of Atlantic forest characterized by oak and beech forests, with populations of fauna that are, in many cases, the most southerly of their areas of European distribution, and among which the brown bear and the capercaillie stand out.
The concurrence of these singular natural characteristics was decisive for Law 8/1991, of May 10, to include this area within the Plan of Protected Natural Spaces of Castilla y León with the denomination of Picos de Europa, establishing the need for the elaboration of a Resource Management Plan which, after an inventory and evaluation of the natural resources, would establish the guidelines for the sectorial and socioeconomic development policies and the necessary regulations regarding uses and activities, and would determine the protection regime which, among those provided for in the Law itself, would be applicable to the area.
