A heads up for anyone heading to the Picos.
We are off there soon and just had a message from the hotel that we will be staying in in Potes:
"The Hermida Gorge that you drive through between Panes and Potes is undergoing a huge transformation with the replacement of the 4 bridges and the addition of more netting to protect vehicles from falling rocks. Particularly useful if you drive an open top car or m'bike! This requires the road to be closed at certain times of the day for the next five weeks on a Monday to Friday basis.
Closure will be from midnight to 13:00hrs daily. The closures will only affect you if you decide to drive down to the coast but there are alternative routes we can discuss when you are here and of course you can return via the gorge after 13:00hrs."
