  3. Picos de Europa National Park - Located in northern Spain, this area features dramatic limestone peaks and deep gorges. Trails vary in difficulty, offering something for every level of hiker, with the route through the Cares Gorge being particularly popular.
  4. GR7 in Andalusia - This trail is part of the extensive European walking route E4 and takes trekkers through diverse Andalusian landscapes, from mountainous terrains to lush forests. It's an excellent way to experience southern Spain's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
  5. Camino del Norte - Another route of the Camino de Santiago, this path is less crowded than the French Way and travels along the northern coast of Spain. It is known for its stunning coastal views, passing through Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias, and Galicia.
