About us

GOYO GARRIDO GARCÍA (Cantabria 1.976) Cantabrian by birth and from Granada by adoption. I grew up in Espinama, a Cantabrian town of about 100 inhabitants in the heart of the P.N. Picos de Europa, surrounded by mountains, mountains and adventures. I was fortunate to have a local mountain club where I started enjoying the mountains, trails, pens, pastures, and mountain routes and the parents who taught me how to move like a fish in the water. When I was only 5 years old I did the Ruta del Cares and when I was 8 years old I started skiing, it seemed that the mountain would always be close to me. Throughout my childhood and adolescence I have dedicated a lot of time to mountain sports, many routes through the mountains, weekends on it. I became a member of the Valdecoro Mountain Club and the Torrelavega Sports Society, both allowed me to get to know and enjoy the Cantabrian Mountains.
