We leave Tinéu on the AS-217a road to quickly join the AS-217 heading west. We progress halfway up the valley, crossing pastures and small villages until we pass the village of Xera, some 15 km from the start, and reach the crossroads that allows us to change valleys.

We continue ascending to pass the Alto de La Llama and descend along the TI-6 to cycle parallel to the Arganza river in a place of great beauty. The valley is a quiet, sparsely populated place, somewhat hidden, with small villages such as La La Ḷḷama, Arganza, or Rozadieḷḷḷa.

We continue to climb slightly and then begin the descent along the AS-14 road to the Puente del Infierno bridge, crossing the Narcea river and continuing along the AS-15 road that will take us to Courias and then to Cangas del Narcea.

In Courias stands the monastery of San Juan Bautista, a monumental building of great historical and artistic importance of colossal proportions and majestic image, currently converted into a Parador Nacional, and which requires a visit, or at least a short stop for a coffee, any reason is valid to admire this marvel before continuing to the end of the stage.

Once in Cangas del Narcea we can admire its historic quarter and enjoy its charm.

Respect the direction of traffic on urban stretches.
