Picos Trip Note's SJP - Pico’s Mountain Challenge - 2016 Challenge Overview Straddled across the twin provinces of Asturias and Cantabria in Northern Spain, the Picos Mountains are nothing short of breath- taking. Thousands of years of erosion and geological activity have created soaring limestone towers, and plunging cavernous gorges. This really is and awesome part of the world and well worth a visit. From the tip of Torre Cerredo the range’s highest peak (2 648m), to the raging Rio Cares, this amazingly compact range of mountains offers everything we are looking for in a ‘mountain getaway’. Also known as a fine reserve of wildlife it will certainly be possible to see a great variety of birdlife including broad winged vultures, eagles and certainly mountain goat, and possibly wild deer, but other sightings are strong possibilities.

  • Picos De Europa-Spain)
    Geographia Technica, Special Issue, 2010, pp .6 to 11 AUTOMATIC CLOSE–RANGE PHOTOGRAMMETY TO DIGITAL TERRAIN MODEL IN ICE PATCH JOU NEGRO (PICOS DE EUROPA-SPAIN) Javier De Matías BEJARANO1, Fernando Berenguer SEMPERE1, José Juan De SANJOSÉ BLASCO1 ABSTRACT: In this paper we present a stereo feature-based method using SIFT (Scale-invariant feature transform) descriptors. We use automatic feature extractors, matching algorithms between images and techniques to produce a DTM (Digital Terrain Model) using convergent shots of an ice patch. The geomorphologic structure observed in this study is the Jou Negro ice patch (Cantabrian Mountain, Spain). Keywords: Geomorphology, Close - Range Photogrammetry, DTM, SIFT. 1. INTRODUCTION The Jou Negro cirque is located in the Picos de Europa Massif (Cantabrian Mountain) (Fig. 1), at north of Iberian Peninsula (43º12´03´´N; 4º51´12´´W). The Picos de Europa massif is an Atlantic mountain located at 20 km from the Atlantic seaboard, and reaching 2648 m a.s.l. at the Torre Cerredo peak, the highest peak of the Cantabrian Mountains. The relief of the Picos de Europa is characterized by great differences in altitude (over 1500– 2300 m), and it is the first orographic barrier facing the rain-bearing winds from the Atlantic Ocean (González, 2006; González, 2007). The climate is warm, characterised by high precipitations, reaching the 3000 mm/yr on the top. The precipitations are mainly as snow during winter period, but the rain and high cloudiness occur all year. Fig. 1 Jou Negro Situation in 17th October 2007 The Picos de Europa range consists of a succession of fault thrusts of northern dipping, calcareous rocks where the predominant rocks are limestone of Carboniferous age.

We were quickly on our way, leaving Santander behind and doing our best to ignore the industrial sprawl of Torrelavega. We take the E70 motorway to Unquera, which is a good road, but takes us through a managed landscape, mostly large plantations of pine and eucalypt for the paper mills at Torrelavega, a relic of Franco’s reign. Roadside birds include our first Common Buzzard and Black Kite. But once off the E70 and heading south, the countryside softens and we can appreciate some of the traditional architecture of dark stone and timber with terracotta tiles, and some buildings with strong colour-washed walls – some colours more sympathetic than others! We get our first view of one of the many peaks we will see in the next few days as Penamellera looms ahead of us as we head for Panes.

  • The Landforms of Spain
    UNIT The landforms k 1 o bo ote Work in your n of Spain Spain’s main geographical features Track 1 Spain’s territory consists of a large part of the Iberian Peninsula, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea and the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, located on the north coast of Africa. All of Spain’s territory is located in the Northern Hemisphere. Peninsular Spain shares a border with France and Andorra to the north and with Portugal, which is also on the Iberian Peninsula, to the west. The Cantabrian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean border the north and west coast of the Peninsula and the Mediterranean Sea borders the south and east coast. The Balearic Islands are an archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. The Canary Islands, however, are an archipelago located almost 1 000 kilometres southwest of the Peninsula, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, just north of the coast of Africa. Spain is a country with varied terrain and a high average altitude. Spain’s high average altitude is due to the numerous mountain ranges and systems located throughout the country and the fact that a high inner plateau occupies a large part of the Peninsula. The islands are also mostly mountainous and have got significant elevations, especially in the Canary Islands.
