At Walk Picos we are fully aware that in any group of walkers you can find individuals of different age, endurance, physical strength, expectations, etc. In order to consider a wide range of such factors, we have planned our daily routes with great care in a way that most of the routes can be softened by missing parts of them, thus allowing every walker to adopt the route to his own physical condition. In fact the itinerary is designed in such a way that every single walking-day can be skipped taking a taxi instead by walkers in need of some rest, and the sixth (and last) walking day has the village of Potes as starting and destination point, so that anyone tired or just willing to take the last day off, can opt for ambling around this beautiful village instead, thus skipping the last day's walk.

As a general indication, we can say that difference between highest/lowest point each day never will be greater than 1000 m and highest point ever reached will be 2200 m (on the day we start walking at Fuente De cable car's top platform at 1800 m) in case you don't volunteer for summits. Moreover, it must be pointed out that a couple of days we will be descending for most of the day. Included in the 'extra' activities, a couple of times along the way during the week, you will have the chance to join for a quick attempt on a 1950-2400 m peak if you feel like summiting. Walks are designed to be within the capability of people of all ages, reasonably fit and with sound health.

A normal day will see you starting to walk at around 9 a.m. and arriving at your destination at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m., including 1 hour for lunch at noon and frequent stops for informal speeches. That amounts to a total of 6 or 7 hours walking every day. Furthermore, there will be a chance of still walking for another 1 or 2 hours around your destination point at the end of every walking day, with those of you still not satisfied.
