Hiking alone in Los Picos de Europa National Park, Spain
In June 2022 I solo hiked 142km through Picos the Europa National Park. It was my first time I ever did such a solo hike, as was it my first time documenting it like this. Each night I either went wildcamping in my tent, or slept in a refugio.

El vídeo es una maravilla y menudo esfuerzo para hacer esa grabación tan espectacular , la selección de la música inmejorable y la calidad de grabación muy buena , qué pena que sea casi imposible coger los Picos de Europa sin niebla y qué envidia estar en esa forma física para poder subir y bajar por esos precipicios durante tanto,s días ; saludos desde Madrid

Great video! Nice camera shots. Really enjoyed watching this. I'm a fan of Harmen Hoek and Yens Bastaiens, and this is right up there with those guys. Music selection is a bit poor - it's ok though. I think could be better (sorry bit vague, but Harmen has excellent music choice as a comparison!). I've just subscribed, hopefully you'll make some more! Thanks!

Thanks for the comment Adam. I appreciate your honest feedback! Harmen is definitely one that I watch too ;)
Hey Michael, fantastic film, thank you for sharing. Wonderful atmosphere. I'll be doing this circular trail in July this year, taking my tent so I'll be pretty flexible but I'd like to check: did you have any problems with availability in the refugio's? And were there proper meals to have in every refugio or are some of them closed for food? Thanks a lot, cheers!

Hi! The availability of the refugio's kind of depends on which one we are talking about. Like I had an empty Vegarredonda but a fully booked (for the whole season I thought) Collado Jermoso. Whatever the case, you always have the option to pitch your tent next to them. Regarding the food, pretty much all of them have fully coursed meals and power outlets to charge your batteries. Good luck with the trip, pretty exciting!

@@michaelbeckmann_ Wonderful thanks a lot. I pre-booked a couple of them in advance, I don't particularly like to but it seemed like the smart thing to do. My last question: what was the water situation like? Is it accessible every day (only) in refugio's or also somewhere along the way during hiking? Thanks a lot!

@@lotteakse if you bring a water filter you definitely have many options to fill up. Next to the refiguos you've got the towns and several streams along the track. Only during day 4 (in my video) I did have limit water options. It's that long hike up high where there is just one option along the track. On a warm day, definitely think about taking at least 2L with you. Also, bring enough cash with you for the refugios. They often only accept cash and I had a defificult time getting to an ATM. I had €200 on me, next time I would do at least €300!
❤❤ no hay problema de pernoctar allí....altura?
beautiful video! Can you share what week of June did you do the trail?

This was in the first week of June!
I was planning on do it the first two weeks of may but I'am a bit afraid of the weather if not using the refugio. Did you book them in advance or was there enough space ?

It highly depends on the time of year and which Refugio you choose. Some can be booked for the entire summer almost while others have hardly anyone. As you can imagine, the easier it is to get there, the more chance of it being full :)

Don't go in May. You will find either a lot of snow or it will be melting down. It is dangerous because Picos are limestone and there are lots of rocks that were separated from the mountain with the ice formation and they fall down when it melts. You can literally be killed by a falling boulder. June is usually safer.
