A walk through the ethnography of eastern Asturias: mills, bridges and old roads that have witnessed the different ways of life in the area at different stages of the history of the council.

And to top it all off: a dip in a waterfall or a piece of delicious Gamonéu cheese bought directly from one of the cheese dairies in the area.

RECOMMENDATIONS
- We recommend carrying enough water for the entire route, as there are no drinking water sources along the way. There is a fountain in Demués where you can refill water at the beginning or at the end of the route.
- It is essential to carry a walking stick for the descent from Demués, which is very slippery even in summer (don’t forget your bathing suit on very hot days!).
