Picos de Europa

This is me in the Picos mountains last week in northern Spain. They're fantastic and bloody huge though I didn't even know they existed until a couple of months ago. Conveniently, after getting a cable car and hiking for 2 hours, the Spanish provided a bar (in the middle of nowhere) which sold excellent cold beer and tapas.
