Fuente De

Feunte De is the 'end of the road' from Potes and a comparitively gentle drive of 20Km to put on another 3000ft before reaching the wall of rock that is Feunte De (literally the fountian of the River De). We have been staying on La Isla camp site, a super friedly place (with lots of Brits) which has views of the Picos and all the usual site facilites including a restaraunt which we tried tonight. The final leg of the journey is a 3 minute trip in the cable car and is a single exhilerating lift of 800metres to the top of cliff face. There were still patches of snow, despite the hot sunshine, to entertain the youngsters (and the geriatrics!) so we achieved another of our objectives of making a snow ball in the Picos. We sat on the terrace on the edge of the mountian at 6000ft sipping coffee and eating muffins (how terribly English!) while we took photos of the view and the eagles circling overhead.
