One of the reasons the Picos de Europa was made a National Park, and more recently a Unesco Biosphere Reserve, are its hay meadows. Flowers abound in these traditionally-managed pockets of colour before they're cut in June. From April/May to September/October botanists can also head higher to the splendours of the alpine pastures and natural rock gardens to find the myriad flowers there among the limestone peaks.
Some plants are endemic to the Cantabrian mountains and a few to just the Picos de Europa themselves. Orchids have their own separate category (see left or below).
