Mindfulness and Hiking in Picos de Europa in Asturias Paradise (North of Spain)

Hosted by

Vicenta

Guided trip
Welcome, TripMates to join me in the adventure of exploring Picos de Europa, a highlight in the heart of northern Spain overlooking the sea and reaching almost 2700 meters high. I love hiking in nature, feeling uplifted by the beauty of Asturias, the place where I live right now. It's a natural paradise surrounded by mountains, forests, and the Cantabrian Sea. I practice and teach mindfulness and find that doing in nature is the perfect way to love and connect with the wonderful planet we live on. It's why the aim of the trip is to practice mindfulness while we are discovering the landscape of Asturias, a paradise to open our senses and enjoy the beauty around us in a way that fulfills our mind and body with joy, awe, and love. Through mindfulness practices we are going to attune with the spirit of Picos de Europa, majestic pics reaching the sky, glacial lakes (lagos de Covadonga), and wildness all around. We will spend the three nights in mountain refuges in the heart of Picos de Europa, a great opportunity to contemplate breathtaking skies far away from light pollution. This is a journey to awaken our senses to the beauty of nature and to our own beauty by learning how to pay attention to the present moment and calm our thinking mind. A way to train our minds is through the practice of mindfulness in nature. The scenery is so inspiring that you are going to feel uplifted, a lifetime experience to empower your mind and body. Details of the trip: - The mountain refugees have to share rooms. It's recommended to bring your sleeping bag. - On the last day, there is the possibility of going to the sea for swimming before finishing the trip. What is included in the price? - Mindfulness training - Accommodation (Shared Space) What is not included? - Petrol for driving (shared between trip mates) - Food About me: My name is Vicenta, I am a traveler, nature, and yoga lover, and mindfulness teacher. Do you have a question? Ask in the Q&A! Looking forward to having a call with you after you book and alight or arrival times and plans. See you soon!

1/5
So she as a Person is amazing always friendly, kind and always a positiv mindset. But for me the Trip was just not the right thing. I was expecting to hike together but she was not very Good prepared for going hiking also i would say she is Not very experianced in mountainiering or sleeping in Refugios. We quited the trip one night before because it was not possible for her to Go to the Last refugio so i endet up the Last Night in a Hotel i had to pay on my own. So all in all i think it was just Not the Right fit for me Mayby People which are More Interessted Into doing mediation would enjoy the Trip More.
