Picu Urrielllu (Cabrales)-Asturies) Spain

The Naranjo de Bulnes (in Asturian Picu Urriellu) is a limestone peak of Paleozoic origin located in the Massif of the Urrieles in the Picos de Europa, in Asturias (Spain). Administratively, the Naranjo de Bulnes is located in the Asturian council of Cabrales and within the Picos de Europa National Park.

It has an altitude of 2,519 m and, although it is not the highest peak of the Cantabrian mountain range, it can be considered one of its best-known mountains, as well as one of the emblematic peaks of Spain. It stands out from the point of view of big wall climbing, especially for the 550 meters of vertical wall on its west face. At its base is the Vega de Urriellu, a valley of Quaternary glacial origin. In the photo it is located to the right of the photo.
