Join an adventurous motorcycle road trip to the Spanish mountain range Picos de Europa – the summits of Europe.
Only 20 kilometers from the Atlantic coast of Spain, there is a picturesque rugged mountain chain. A beautiful inhabited National Park – and one of the places that I visited before, but that I had a big urge to return to: The Picos de Europa.
Here are the highlights, best places to stay and best roads to travel when visiting Picos de Europa Nationalpark:

01:50 The most scenic route for traveling to the Picos de Europa from east – CA-282

Hola :está prohibido volar el dron en todos los parques nacionales, y en la aplicación de dji bien claro lo pone que es una zona restringida de vuelo, hay aves y especies protegidas, debemos de ser respetuosos con las normas
Loved this video. Very helpful for my upcoming trip to the Picos de Europa!
Fantastic landscape .
how long would you recommend to spend in the Picos area?
awesome video, many thanks! What tires are you using and how do they behave on-road, especially if wet?
Great landscapes. I have to go there!
Nice motovlog Adventure
Picos is a beautiful place, a place i will never forget and always hold close to my heart
The fabulous roads and counryside of Northwest Spain and Portugal were the best kept secrets of tourism , and you've just blown it . Please stick to Snake Pass . Lots of company there .
There's controversy about which is the most beautiful National Park in Spain….Picos de Europa N.P. or Ordesa y Monte perdido National Park?
Se te escucha tu acento alemán cuándo hablas en inglés 🤣🤣, it's easy to notice your deutsch accent when speaking english!🤣🤣, Es ist leicht, Ihren deutschen Akzent zu hören, wenn Sie Englisch sprechen.
Si yo habló alemán?, Y después inglés?,me pasa lo mismo 🤣🤣, pero si primero hablo inglés y despues alemán, se me olvida el español 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video as usual. You seemed really happy on this! You are always positive and upbeat, unless you have bad weather, but always return to your optimistic self. Safe and enjoyable adventures!
👍🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦👍
Thanks Lea for this beautiful pictures of nature !!! LuckyLuc from France
In 2021 I spent 3 days riding this area it was truly an amazing time,I think i will head back there again next year.I also have 2 good friends living in Madrid every July they head to Picos and Galacia on their bikes for 2 weeks,July in Picos and Christmas in Calpe Their life can,t possibly get much better?? Thank you for bringing back good memories for me..
Amazing video 👏 stay safe both, and I'm so looking forward to my trip to this area in June 2023 😎
Just One worth….Wow…🤙🤙🤙🤙
AMAZING scenery! Thank you!
What a beautiful video you have inspired me to go here
Great video love watching the videos, can I ask what drone do you use ?
"Tenere (700) for travel bike President". You are right!
But have to admit that the Africa Twin was in my focus too. Too heavy too much Software, Electronic. But still a beautiful bike.
I ride with my T 700 to the top of the World (North cape) this year. My very first BIG trip with the T700. Exiting, the trip, the bike.
And the rider ? I am not so sure about him. I need far more big trips with the T 700 to test him (smile).
A beautiful landscape you show us. Thank you.
❤U
Hallo Lea, war letzte Woche bei den Picos .. hier der Link zu einem kurzen Video mit den picos bei tiefblauem Himmel:

Today we learn motorcycle riders don't know how to read. At 9:25 you can see 2 different signs that said "road closed".
