There is also a route to Cuadonga/Covadonga from Gijón/Xixón, which is a classic, and which goes through places as well known as Amandi and Miyares, before heading to the Royal Site. Known as the Travesía Andariega, it is the road that connects the central coast of Asturias and one of the gateways to the Picos de Europa. A path that has been trodden by thousands of pilgrims over the years.
