About this spot
A tolerated pull-in beside Sotres, the highest inhabited village in the Picos, where cheese matures in mountain caves. Off-grid and rough, but the base for the legendary Cares Gorge walk and a night wrapped in silence and stars at 1,000m.

Reviews
“Rough and remote but the Cares walk from here is world-class. The cheese is pungent perfection.”
“The drive up is not for the nervous. Reward: total silence and stars.”
