Bulnes is a village located inside the central massif of  the Picos de Europa. Until this site gets no road but access to the outside is through a trail that  climbs  along  the channel Tejo. For many years Bulnes was totally isolated, which has caused their population  is reduced  to about twenty  villagers.

The Most Characteristic Mountains of the Europa Peaks in Spain

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

El Naranjo de Bulnes is the most characteristic mountains of the Europa peaks, the most famous, most reproduced photographically, and his fame comes not only from the blood trail that ascends to the summit. Since Luis Martinez, “The Cuckoo”, died in the wall on 2 September 1928, many climbers have lost their lives attempting to climb it. But that wall is smooth, like an impregnable tower, it is tempting, and defeat is a real achievement. Beating winter Naranjo is the aspiration of all mountaineers, except the Count of Saint-Saud, who, in his meticulous and detailed tour of the Picos, scarcely noticed the Naranjo. One of the last road open about it has the poetic name of ‘Winter Sleep’ dream, this time, was happy to wake up. But veterans say the Pico Naranjo increasingly looks more like a hardware store by the number of pins and iron left on the mountain walls.

El Naranjo is not as high as Torrecerredo or a mass as great as Peña Santa, however, dutifully than in fame and legend of these two mountains. First, is unmistakable. In the translation of Benjamin Jarnés of “The Song of Roland,” we read, referring to the Emperor Charlemagne, “Whoever you look, there is no need to show it.” The same happens with Naranjo, who need not show it because it is not possible to be confused with any other Mt. No other mountain also stands in front of him, so he is among the mountains, lonely, majestic, as if the only monarch of the three massifs. (more…)
