It was about -3° overnight and the condensation had all frozen on the inside of our windows but on the plus side we had crisp blue skies so we wasted no time and headed to Fuente De in Picos De Europa National Park for a gondola ride. The drive there was incredible with the jagged…

Our first day exploring Spain | From the sea to the mountains
