Picos De Morahes - Mulerendeira / Cumbaccero album flac

The Picos de Europa ("Peaks of Europe", also the Picos) are a mountain range extending for about 20 km, forming part of the Cantabrian Mountains in northern Spain. The range is situated in the Autonomous Communities of Asturias, Cantabria and Castile and León. The highest peak is Torre de Cerredo, at an elevation of 2650 m. A widely accepted origin for the name is that they were the first sight of Europe for ships arriving from the Americas.

The name Picos del Infierno (Hell's peaks) is one of the most attractive of the Pyrenees. Only the pronunciation is exciting but the name really to come by the bad weathers conditions of these mountains (strong winds and storms are frequents). The three Infiernos are Western (3073m), Central (3082m) and Eastern (3076m) joined by elegant and dangerous ridge.
