Pico de Las Nieves


We took a long coach drive up the mountain from La Aldea at just above sea level to the summit of the mountain at just under 2000 m. The drive took about 90 minutes.

It was unfortunately cloudy at the top so views were very limited.


After a quick coffee from the van at the top we headed downwards through some lovely pine forests that reminded us of a Scottish landscape. Some pleasant walking with soft pine needles under foot.


After about 30 minutes we had a decision point and decided to miss Roque Nublo which was shrouded in cloud and instead walked along a Camino de Santiago. This was a very nice route with great views. A lots of hard descent though with a drop of around 1000 m during the walk.


At the end of the walk, and the usual beer or coffee, we got driven back to Aguimes to the same hotel as the first couple of days.
