Alto la Colladiella - La Peña 23

The seventh stage of the GR-208 "Anillo Ciclista Montaña Central" starts at the Alto La Colladiella (Mieres) and after crossing the AS-337 road takes the Senda Verde del Cabañón to ascend along a dirt track that leads us to a section that from Pontaos descends along concrete surfaces to the Alto de la Mozqueta or Alto La Faya. We then cross the local LA-7 road and take the track towards the Ablaneo and Urbiés fields. A little before this, and from a viewpoint, we can contemplate the magnificent valley of Samuño.

The section continues flat along a track that also shares the PR-44 path, above the surroundings of the Sierra de Urbiés, until we reach the Pico Panda peak, which we skirt to take an uphill branch, leaving another one along which the PR-34 descends, which also shares the same route and which goes towards San Xusto.

The GR-208 climbs towards Pico Cogullu, although the path goes below the municipal boundary line, always on the Mierense side. At La Violar turn right and take a track that takes you below the Felechosa, Mata Porrín and Espines peaks, at which point the Cycle Route continues down the Rebullu mountain range towards the village of El Cau.

From El Cau, take the MI-11 road and go down it without any detour until the Alto de Santu Miano, whose road is crossed with caution to take the path that opens up on the other side and along which the PR-44 "Sendero Vuelta a Langreo" runs. At Domingo Moro, the GR-208 turns to the left (leaving the aforementioned PR Langreano) towards the hamlet of L'Acíu, which is skirted above, and without entering it we take a path that skirts the Borrón del Corralón, to climb and thus gain the Collado Muezca, towards the base of the Pico Campón.

From here, along a winding route with ascents and descents, we continue towards the La Teyerona Recreational Area where we take a concrete path that goes along the slope of La Peña towards the village of La Matiná. This village is left at the first turn-off that goes down the slope along sections of the royal path, which crosses the Sierru La Matiná, whose route has some technical passages. These are short stretches that soon leave us in front of the village of Les Casetes (Requintín), from where we descend without rest and on tarmac roads to La Peña, where we reach the sports facilities at the end of the stage.
