This is very vague. What type of trip? Hiking with a central base? Backpacking? Camping?
The last time I went hiking in Spain, I booked a place near the Picos in Potes and then just looked up 'best hikes in the Picos de Europa' or something. It was great and everything worked out. Highly recommend.

Edit: just checked my saved locations in Google Maps. The place was called HOSTERÍA LA ANTIGUA ALOJAMIENTO-POTES. The whole area was spectacularly cheap. Had some of the best food I've ever eaten there and a post-hike beer was 1 EUR.

Hmm for whatever reason I felt like I needed to do point to point, but I guess that just cranks up the price when I could do a base camp type thing.

Heard Picos is quite cold and wet so early in the season though?

Unsure tbh. But that seems very feasible. Base camp requires car rental etc, though, so I'd think backpacking would be cheaper if you're able to wild camp. Not sure on the rules in Spain though.
