The Naranjo de Bulnes (known as Picu Urriellu in Asturian) is a prominent peak and popular mountaineering objective in the Central Massif of the Picos de Europa. Its summit is 2519m AMSL.
Rising some 500m from the surrounding landscape, the peak is home to dozens of multi-pitch rock climbs varying in difficulty and length.
The nearby Refugio Vega d'Urriellu, sleeping 96, is the obvious base from which to tackle the Naranjo.
