Hola Angulero,
Thank you for clearing this out. On my roadmap, the word PICOS DE EUROPA is covering also Oviedo. But I was hesitating because the Natural Park of the Picos is in the area Potes - Fuente De. I read in a book in a hotel that they used also the term CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.
I will do the correction and mention Cordillera Cantábrica. Muchas gracias.
Esmine wore jackets and long sleeve shirts to protect her skin.
There was one exception. When we started walking from Pajares into the valley, there was a very strong wind. And it was a very hot wind. Like it came from right from the African Sahara.
Again thank you for all feedback and especially for explaining the foehn (hair dryer?) phenomenon.
Hey Angulero,
I didn't know this phenomenon. I read more to understand it. The increase in temperature is in fact because the dry wind is going from a low pressure on top of the mountain to a heigher pressure in the valley. This make sense when I remember the physics lessons.
And yes, Föhn is also used for hair dryer, especially in Holland and the eastern part of Belgium.
Por último y como curiosidad, aquí en Asturias, cuando en otoño sopla ese viento, se le llama "aire de las castañas". Es así porque es la época de recogida de las castañas y ese viento ayuda a que caigan de los castaños.
Finally, as a curiosity, here in Asturias, where the wind blows in autumn, is called "aire de las castañas". It is so because it is the time of collecting chestnuts and that wind helps the chestnut trees falling.
