Accommodation
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.
