The Mirador de Santa Catalina is a truly spectacular viewpoint about 600m above the Desfiladero de la Hermida, the spectacular gorge in the east of the Picos de Europa. The viewpoint can be reached via the Senda Mitológica, for example as a detour from the Ruta de las Agueras - or via a narrow asphalt road. Due to access for cars and motorcycles, it can sometimes be a bit crowded here.
