About this trip

 

Join us on an epic trail running journey as we look to make a circumnavigation around the Picos de Europa in northern Spain.


You may have heard of the Picos de Europa, but few people have visited this spectacular National Park which dominates a 20km range in Spain’s northern reaches. 


Reached by just a short drive from Santander we set out to run the “Anillo” (Ring) which covers an immense circular trail throughout the National Park.


This trail run has everything and more: from rocky crests, gorges, lush valleys, vast glacial lakes, and leafy forests. There is no doubt that you won’t be amazed by what you find on our trail running journey.


Over the course of five days, we’ll experience the very best of what the Picos de Europa has to offer, by staying in high mountain refuges and covering rewarding daily distances, all the while by being surrounded by blissful lofty peaks.


We have selected this journey to begin on a Wednesday and to finish on a Sunday to make the most of a convenient direct flight from London Stansted, Edinburgh and Manchester.

A great trip, brilliantly organised from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and accommodating organisers. Great food, great accommodation and perfect trails. 10 on 10.

I had an incredible trip, largely due to the professionalism and nature of the guides, Charlie 1, Charlie 2 and Eddie. They were always very considerate, thoughtful, flexible and accomodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were just top company to be around at all times. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and will definitely be a returning client. Except I won't ever feel like a client, just someone that made some great friends and had a great holiday. They are very good at what they do. Kudos from me

Absolutely unforgettable. The route was challenging, but worth the work for such stunning scenery. Accommodations and food were all great. Importantly, we had plenty of guides for our group. They all knew the route and did a great job of coordinating all the myriad logistics. Neither of these were easy feats for a route that was sparsely marked and for a group of people traveling from multiple countries, arriving and departing at various times. Not only were they experienced trail runners and navigators, but a joy to spend time with on and off the trail. I left with a dozen new friends and many more good memories. I'm looking forward to my next adventure with Pure Trails.

Great experience Mixed days, some runable one not Could have been significant longer distances for all three days particularly day 2 and day 3. Great guides, happily surprised we had three, which turned out to be needed Group was far too inhomogeneous Two drop outs before start One person who was not qualified for trail running and consumed far too much support and slowed the entire group I would I recommend and redo a trip with Pure Trail, absolutely 💯 10/10
