GR208 - Central Mountain Cycle Ring
Route
Bueño - Viapará 17
The GR-208 "Anillo Ciclista de la Montaña Central" starts from the Llosalín Sports Area in Güeñu/Bueño (Ribera de Arriba) and takes the riverside path that borders the River Nalón and the sports and recreational area looking for the river bank, which is crossed to go up to the village of Palombar, following the route of the PR-240 of the Senda Fluvial (Riverside Path).
From Palombar, the route follows the local paths to the La Villa neighbourhood and from here we share the asphalted track to Fuexos, from where we leave along a concreted track until we reach the fork at the Casa del Malato, where we take the left branch which continues concreted until we reach La Mortera.
The route now heads towards the valley, to face a steep ramp that leads to the Campo de Peñerúes.
In Peñerúes the GR-208 leaves the PR-143 "Ruta del Angliru" and follows the local road of Los Duernos to San Xuan in the parish of La Piñera (Morcín), where the GR returns to the dirt tracks passing over El Vallín, with a succession of very technical and "trial" sections until it ends in La Vara.
At La Vara we cross the village at the top to take the dirt track again which, passing through muddy areas such as La Salguera, arrives at La Carbayosa, where we cross the village on the main road.
From here we reach the MO-1 road that comes from Busloñe (Morcín), on the way to the road that climbs up to the Angliru (RI-5). This is an asphalted section of about 3,600 metres in length that allows us to gain about 100 metres in altitude without any major problems, thus concluding the first stage of the Central Mountain Cycling Ring.
