The route begins in the council’s capital, Santuyanu, and heads north; after a short climb, it descends, reaching the River Andallón just before Miobra, in a wetland area that is covered in wildflowers during the flowering season.

Further on, the path runs parallel to the river, nestled within a gallery forest, until it crosses the river once more and reaches the AS-314 district road.

Continue south along the road until you reach the junction, then follow a tarmac track uphill, following the ridge of small hills between the two rivers, which leads to the small rural hamlet of Llazana. From here, the tarmac track becomes increasingly uneven, turning into a gravel track just before reaching Areces, from where you descend towards the River Nalón, following its course upstream to reach Valdunu, where, with a short detour, you can visit the excavations of the Roman thermal baths.

In Valdunu, the route joins the AS-234 district road and continues along it, first climbing towards Premoñu and then on to Ania to complete the itinerary and return to Santuyanu.
