The first part of the walk is a gentle climb through low bushes

Looking back to the car park. The peak behind is Peña Llesba at 1,819m

The last push to Coriscao peak

Looking back along the path we have climbed

A bit crowded at the summit.... by Picos standards!

Splendid views of the Picos and the Cordillera de Cantabrica
