The Olavarría Tower is located in the Central Massif of Picos de Europa, specifically in the beautiful area of Vega de Liordes in front of Torre Salinas, an idyllic and isolated place where we will surely climb in complete solitude away from overcrowding.
It has an exceptional rock and although the route is not very long, it will not leave us indifferent.
