Caín is the village located at the lowest altitude in the entire valley (460 meters), which is why it seems to be literally swallowed up by the Picos de Europa mountains and also the waters of the Cares River, overflowing in the form of streams and torrents, still give it More beauty if possible to the landscape that surrounds this small town.

Hiking

A good turning point when walking along the gorge. Here you can stop in or have road connection again.
