Naranjo de Bulnes (Picu Urriellu) Viewpoint
Mirador d'Urriellu
The most iconic limestone monolith of the Picos de Europa, rising 2,519 m, with a 550 m vertical west face, nicknamed the Orange of Bulnes.
The Naranjo de Bulnes takes its nickname from the orange glow its rock face turns in the setting sun, and it is a mecca for climbers in Spain.
Ordinary visitors can see it from the viewpoint at the village of Camarmeña, above Poncebos, or from the Pozo de la Oración (Well of Prayer) viewpoint at Poncebos de Cabrales. Hikers can walk about 3 hours from the Pandébano pass to the mountain hut at the foot of the peak.
The coordinates given are those of the Camarmeña viewpoint.
