Climbing Naranjo de Bulnes (Picu Urriellu)

One of the most beautiful ascents in the Picos de Europa is climbing Naranjo de Bulnes. The Picu Urriellu, as the local people always called it, where we had many historic climbs. First, be able to reach the inaccessible Summit and then, climb his majestic west face.

One of the best ways to climb the Naranjo de Bulnes is with a Mountain Guide. The function of the guide is to manage the risk of the activity, but also, to help and support during the climb to the summit of the Picu and enjoy the fantastic views.
