We’re just back from a trip to northern Spain, with five nights in the Picos de Europa and three more in Somiedo. Autumn isn’t the best time for birding, many of the birds have gone south by now, but there’s much more than birds. The place is stunning, and on top of the Wallcreeper, which was my most-wanted European bird, the animals were superb, although they took some finding.
