Sueve Mountains
The most popular mountains for hikes in Asturias are the Picos de Europa, but the Sueve Mountains, to the west are equally beautiful. Not as well known as the Picos, they are far less crowded, especially in the summer. The Sueve mountains are a separate mountain range from the Picos and are home to a wild Celtic pony breed called the Asturcon. We were hoping catch a glimpse of the elusive pony, but didn't see it. We did, however, see plenty of grazing horses and cattle. Each wears a bell around its neck. The symphony of hundreds of cowbells in the distance was very relaxing and beautiful.The trailhead starts across the street from the Fito, a popular vista point. If the weather is clear to the coast, you'll be rewarded with beautiful views all the way to the sea.
