The overall difficulty rating was accurate. Some days were more challenging than others, the limestone pavement on the path to Cabo San Vicente being particularly hard going. The route notes and app were generally excellent and our occasional navigational errors were mostly my fault. Cases do Moinho in Aljezur was excellent (despite the long climb through the village to reach it at the end of a long day!). The breakfast was by far the best on the whole trip.
Overall, an excellent week’s walking with spectacular scenery and fantastic seafood every evening.

The experience in de refugi was very nice.

We enjoyed the trip but are used to doing longer more remote walks.
The navigation App is excellent but we mainly used written instructions, followed waymarkers and just used app to check and felt that worked really well. All in all a good walking holiday in combination with interesting cultural and historical sites to see.
Vera was very helpful, transfers smooth and accommodation good.

The Cares Route is exceptional, and the village of Sotres is very beautiful — definitely worth a visit.

We were slightly surprised that a coastal walk could be as hilly as it was. We were well able for it but if other travellers were taking this trip they should be aware of this. I would say that a least one walking pole is essential for this trek.

Me ha gustado todo en general.
Yo hubiera preferido una bici de gravel o Btt, creo que es más adecuada.

Porthleven and Padstow were great. The other places were good. The Camel Trail is the perfect finish after so many mountain stages. The bike rental company was excellent. The bikes were perfect. We saw other rental bikes that I wouldn’t have wanted to ride through Cornwall with.

We didn’t really know what to expect, but it was good fun. Angel was a wonderful guide and looked after us very well. It was great to have private family rooms in the lodges on nights two and three and we especially appreciated the attention paid to the children by all of the hosts and guides over the week. It would be great if you would like to recommend some restaurants for visitors especially in Sotres.
We had a really wonderful and enjoyable few days in the Picos and the children gained a lot of confidence from undertaking and succeeding at the trek. I would not hesitate to recommend S-Cape and the trek to other families looking for adventure in the Picos.

The bikes were very good, great gears and brakes and the pick up at the airport & at the end we're very prompt.

This was an incredible trip. We loved the variety, and flexibility. One of our favourite day treks was the high route over Vega de Liordes. Another fun day was the circular walk in the eastern massive (side trip to a summit in the fog) from Sortes.
The balcony hike to Rifugio Urrierra was stunning. We did this as a day hike, due to inclement weather, and appreciated the flexibility no which allowed us to do so.
The printed maps with the waypoint numbers was extremely helpful. The ActivNav map kept turning itself off on our iPhones.
Hotel Picos de Europa in Posada de Valdeón had the best chicken ever.
All accommodations were clean and comfortable, with friendly staff.
Jackie
It is a beautiful trip. The path is very well signposted. The accomodation was fine.
1. We would have preferred a booklet with all the routes and town informations. It was a confusing mess when we printed it ourselves. Our own incompetence..
2. Taxi transfers are available everywhere, or even provided free by some accomodations. So there is no need to pre-book, as it is more flexible to arrange on the spot.

We love the Dutch cycle paths and their attitude to cyclists .
The routes are easy to follow and the scenery beautiful with polders on one side and sea on the other.
Chris
Really liked the personal touch given by each host. In particular the couple who run Posada el Parral in Benaocaz and the lady at Posada del Fresno in Montejaque. Everyone was expecting us on our arrival and made us very welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed this excellent holiday.
Peter
The host /hostess at all the accommodations were very welcoming. Miriam at Peretallada was even willing to cook us an evening meal on Sunday if no restaurants were open.
The hotel at Monells was especially nice, as there was somewhere to sit out. We really enjoyed the holiday; the easy cycling meant we had time to visit the interesting places we went through.
