Looking for a 4x4 trail in Picos de Europa, Spain

Hi there,

I’m looking for the start of a trail in the Picos de Europa in Spain that I used over 30 years ago in a 4x4.

It began by passing under a house, and there was a café nearby.

I know it’s not much to go on, but that’s all I’ve got. The fact that the trail started by going under a house isn’t exactly common!

If anyone has any ideas, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

If no one answers you here, give ChatGPT a try—you never know...

Hey, have you checked Google Maps in satellite view and maybe Google Street View? There aren’t many trails since it’s a landlocked region in Spain.

The departure from Sotres to Aliva? From what I remember, to leave the village of Sotres and head up the mountain trail toward the alpine pastures, you start in the old village by going under a very narrow stone archway. It's so tight that you feel like you're entering someone's cellar before the trail opens up onto the mountain.

hi

Tinka: thanks for the info

but back then, I had an issue with my 4x4 and a medium-tonnage heavy-duty tow truck came to rescue me on the track going up to the alpine pastures Do you think that truck passed under the archway or is there another access point?

thanks for the info
