Many people would guess that the most mountainous European country is Switzerland, but did you know the second most mountainous is Spain?  Numerous mountain chains stretch across the country, creating more wilderness than in any other country in Europe. A small mountain range in the north of Spain became the country’s first national park, and this is our destination for our 2022 (delayed from 2020) International Hiking Odyssey.
