The place
Refugio la Pierna at 1713 m in the western Cantabrian Range (coordinates 43.05°N 5.98°W, border of Asturias / León, Spain) — not in the Picos de Europa, which lie further east (~ -4.8°W). Unstaffed refuge classified as such by Asturian databases (cotoyapindia). "Pierna" = leg in Castilian, possibly a place name evocative of the shape of the valley or ridge.
