Thinking of travelling down to the Picos in May for a few weeks by car on the Santander ferry ( car only as caravan sold)
We do lots of walking and my husband wants to do the Cares Gorge Walk and also more in the region.
Can anyone recommend campsites that do inexpensive wooden chalets, camping pods b & b or suchlike that can be rented,out of season for a few weeks ?
Thankyou

Camping La Viorna just outside Potes has accommodation (see link) ... Potes is an ideal centre for 'doing the Picos' ... you can hire a chauffeur driven 4x4 for a day ... they deposit you at one end of the Cares Gorge, then collect you at the other .... as well, they take you on a drive into remoter areas, with a knowledgeable guide.

Just around the corner from La Viorna is Camping La isla Picos de Europa, which is a lovely campsite ...

Both are a twenty minute drive from the cable car at Fuente De, which takes you up to a whole area of walks.

As well as these campsites ... Potes is full of apartments and hotels, which, in May, are probably pretty cheap ... and, being in the town, may well offer a wider range of interest/comfort/bars/cafes/restaurants etc.

Both sites are reveiewed in my Site Reviews.

It's a wonderful area ... we keep returning ... never been in May, though ... so be prepared for changeable weather!

We've done that area in May and just to warn you it was cold but lovely part of the world.

We've also been there in May, but it wasn't at all cold. As Kelper says, it was changeable - some rain, some cloud, some sunshine - sometimes all three in one day!
