What's the best way to go to los Picos de Europa from Seville, Spain?

What's the best way to go to los Picos de Europa from Seville, Spain?
I'm currently studying abroad right now in Seville, Spain. Some students and I were talking about going there sometime during this semester. I'm trying to find train tickets, but cannot seem to find any to los Picos. Is there any city in particular that would be good to go through in order to arrive there. Maybe rent a car? or Maybe take the bus? Thanks and cheers!

I miss Sevilla! This: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picos_de_Europa_National_Park suggests going to Santander...I'd take the train or fly. Then a bus. check with the Tourist office. It's up the Avenida de la Constitución from the Cathedral...same side. Towards the Puerta de Jerez. They should have all the details you need.

You could fly up to Bilbao from Seville. Then hire a car. Potes is about 200km from Bilbao. Or train to Madrid, and change for Santander, which is the nearest city. Hire a car and drive the 100 km to Potes. The Picos are about 800 km from Seville.

I would hire a car and drive. Los Picos is spectacular, but many places along the way are incredible to vist. Towns that are unmissable are Ciudad Rodrigo and Salamanca. If you fly, or if you get the train then you will miss so much.
