The bear necessities

The bear necessities
Picos de Europa, Northern Spain
 
Extending for twenty kilometres and spread across the provinces of Asturias, Cantabria and León, the Picos de Europa National Park is a hiker’s paradise. Packed with oak and beech groves, the park takes its name from the impressive rock formations. It is also home to two of the most emblematic animals to live in Spain: the brown bear and the Iberian wolf.
