Spain’s Picos de Europa Named Among World’s Most Stunning Destinations
The dramatic mountain park in northern Spain has topped Time Out’s list of the world’s most beautiful places. Still relatively under the radar, it’s a paradise for outdoor adventure.
Tucked between Spain’s northern coast and its rugged interior, the Picos de Europa National Park has just been named the most beautiful place in the world by Time Out.
The ranking, based on votes from travel experts and writers, puts this dramatic mountain range ahead of some of the world’s most photographed destinations. But for many travellers, it is still relatively under the radar.
Stretching across Asturias, Cantabria and Castile and León, the park is defined by sharp limestone peaks, deep gorges and alpine lakes.
Carved into three distinct massifs by rivers, it offers a landscape that feels both vast and surprisingly accessible.
