This walking holiday in the Picos de Europa was fantastic. The holiday is based in Sotres which is a beautiful village and the base at the hotel was great. It is very homely and the food and drink is excellent. Juan, our guide was brilliant. Being a local he was so knowledgeable about the history, nature and culture of the area and such a lovely man. His family run the hotel and they were all so friendly too. The walking and scenery was exhilarating and may be at the top end of the grade, but it was different every day and a great sense of achievement on completion. Then back to the hotel for a well earned refresh. There was time after most of the walks to explore the village and/or have a pre dinner drink. The overnight in Potes was also very good. It is a lovely town which we had an evening to explore. and the town is great The group were great, we all got along so well and really jelled. Overall an amazing holiday made special by Juan and the rest of the group. Highly recommended.
