The GPS coordinates shown are typically the starting point, and are in °,′,″ and UTM eastings and northings, using the European 1950 datum as used on most Spanish maps (including the 1:25,000 ‘blue series’).  To get WGS-84 coordinates, subtract 4.1″ from N and add 4.8″ to W (an adjustment of ~160m).  For more details on this and the grid systems used on the Spanish maps of the area, see Coordinate systems.

Expeditions to the Picos de Europa and elsewhere since 1973.
