Day 1. THE ROUTE OF THE MAJADAS. CIRCULAR ROUTE. 12 KM +400m -400mMeeting point in Cangas de Onis at 9.30. Transfer to Covadonga Lakes. A Majada is a high mountain meadow where horses, sheep or other animals are put out to pasture during the mild summer months.

Breakfast. The walk begins directly from Sotres. After leaving the village, a forest path leads us up to the Cabin shepherds of La Caballar. We continue down where the scenery changes, crossing a beautiful beech forest. Looking skywards it is possible to spot a variety of eagles and vultures roaming the thermals. The path leads us to a viewpoint at ‘Majada Tobaos’, which rewards us with commanding views of Tielve far below and the jagged peaks of the central massif in the distance. Lunch in a homemade restaurant, transfer to Arenas de Cabrales. Dinner and accommodation in Arenas de Cabrales.
Breakfast. With its narrow passes and gullies, this gorge is right in the heart of the Picos de Europa Mountains. The area's stunning landscape affords unique views of the National Park.
Getting to know this route is a unique experience. The trail is narrow, surrounded by wild vegetation, with water ever-present. The river flows along the valley floor; its sound is a constant companion en route. Now and again, the path takes you through small tunnels carved out of the rock and across bridges that hang over the abyss—meanwhile, rocky mountainsides tower up on either side of the trail. The itinerary runs between Poncebos, in Asturias province and Cain, in Leon province, and It runs parallel to the Cares, the area's wildest river. The route covers 12 kilometres over easy terrain. Transfer to Espinama. We will do a stop-off in the town of Potes. Dinner and accommodation in Espinama.
Breakfast. The route begins with a cable car ride from Fuente Dé to the mountaintop station & continues with a brief climb up to the Horcadina de Covarrobres. The descent starts on a track that traverses the vast mountain prairies between the Central and Eastern Massifs, known as the Puertos de Áliva where there is a hotel/Refugio where you may buy refreshments. Transfer to Espinama. Dinner and accommodation in Espinama.
Breakfast. To end this beautiful trip, we will visit the Eastern Massif, perhaps the most unknown to the public, but also of great beauty. We move to the town of Bejes to take a fantastic walk around its surroundings. We will go up to Pico Cueto Cunorio, an authentic viewpoint of the Picos de Europa and the Hermida Gorge, where we will find an orientation table with the names of the prominent peaks. At the end of the route, we will taste the delicious Bejes-Tresviso cheese. Farewell lunch and after lunch transfer to Cangas de Onís to end our expedition.
