I genuinely thought landscapes like this only existed on the other side of the world. 🌿 a d
Then I found Somiedo Natural Park 🗺️ 🇪🇸
Hidden in the mountains of Asturias, this protected natural park feels like one of Europe’s last truly wild landscapes.
No crowds. No queues. Just glacial valleys, wildflower meadows, crystal-clear streams and mountain views that stretch for miles.
🥾 The Ruta de Valle de Lago (PR-AS) is easily one of the most spectacular hikes I’ve ever done. This 12km hiking route is a moderate hike.
It’s one of those rare places that reminds you just how extraordinary and beautiful nature can be. If you also love to visit places that completely transform your perspective, and make you realise how tiny you really are… this is the spot!
If you’re looking to experience a side of Spain that most travellers never see, this is where I’d start 😍
📍Save this for your next hiking adventure
Would you have guessed this was Spain? 👇

Hey Alexa, show me somewhere in Europe where bears roam free and the landscape leaves my jaw on the floor at every turn. A place where there’s no tourists, where snow topped mountains turn into lush, green forest and where the light dances through the clouds ⛅️ a d

After hours spent bear watching in the freezing mountains, nothing tasted better than Asturias on a plate 🐻😍 a d
We warmed up with steaming bowls of pote and fabada, sampled some of the region’s incredible cheeses (Cabrales was a standout), and washed it all down with local cider and red wine. The food here is hearty, rustic, and exactly what you want after a day in the cold spent scanning the mountainsides 🏔️
The bears were unforgettable. The meals that followed weren’t far behind. 🧀🥬🍷
If your idea of Spanish food is tapas, Asturias is the region to change that 😉

When most people think of Spain, they picture beaches, islands and city breaks 🇪🇸 a d
Few realise that hidden in the mountains of Asturias, one of Europe’s most remarkable conservation success stories is unfolding.
Back in the 1980s, there were believed to be just 5 or 6 brown bears left in this area 😮
Today, around 450 Cantabrian brown bears roam the mountains of northern Spain, with around 280 found in and around Somiedo Natural Park 🌿💚
Even more encouraging? The number of mothers raising cubs continues to increase, giving hope for the future of a species that once stood on the brink 🥰
Watching this bear emerge from the landscape genuinely brought tears to my eyes 😭 it wasn’t just an incredible wildlife encounter. It was a reminder that when we protect nature, recovery is possible. We had the incredible privilege of seeing 6 wild bears during our visit - an experience I will never forget!
Welcome to Green Spain 🌿💚 the side of Spain nobody talks about, but everyone should experience.
Would you have known there were wild bears in Spain?
