Picos de Europa National Park, recently named the most beautiful place in the world by Time Out, is a stunning mountain range in Spain, known for its sharp limestone peaks, deep gorges, and alpine lakes. It offers various hiking trails, including the spectacular Ruta del Cares and the easier Covadonga Lakes. The park features cable cars, traditional villages, and local cuisine, while still providing quiet escapes and wildlife sightings. Accessible from cities like Santander and Oviedo, the best visiting times are spring and early autumn.
