Bustio - Pendueles

Bustio - Pendueles 21.9

The starting point is accessed from the LLN-3 at Pendueles and from the Llanes and Pendueles FEVE stations.

The route begins in the Remansona Park in Bustio (Ribadedeva), a town where it is interesting to visit the fishing port. After crossing the N-634, the path continues along a subway, passing through the districts of Texera and Salcea, until it joins the royal road. It then crosses the Ería Nueva and goes through the eucalyptus grove in the Tina area, which descends towards the ruins of the Cistercian monastery of Tina, founded in the 12th century.

After crossing the Bartolo stream over a footbridge, the path skirts Monte Las Gurizas, and comes out onto the road to the Faro de San Emeterio lighthouse. From here you reach the San Emeterio Hermitage, dating from the 16th century and located in the field of the same name, as well as the recreational area of El Pindal.

We recommend a visit to the prehistoric cave of El Pindal, located on the edge of the nearby cliffs, which has exceptional cave paintings and engravings, mainly of deer, horses and bison. Joining the road, we reach the viewpoint of Picu de Pimiango, and from there the path takes us directly to the centre of Pimiango.

The viewpoint offers marvellous views: to the left, the pre-coastal valley at the foot of the Cuera and the Picos de Europa in the background, and to the right, the coastal plain and the sea horizon.

Leave Pimiango on the RD-1 road, crossing over the FEVE railway line, and continue until you cross the N-634. Then turn right and continue along an asphalted road that passes in front of the chapel of El Cristo, before turning left onto the RD-3.

The path passes in front of the El Mirador del Llavendes campsite and comes out onto a path that crosses in front of the L'Aixu stables, crosses the Serra and Tejavana areas, and leads to an asphalted road that ends at La Franca.

Before reaching the N-634 and without crossing it, we take the road to Tresgrandas, which we leave when we come to another gravel road that leads to the area of La Peña. After crossing the river Cabra over the old bridge, on the route of the Camino de Santiago, take the path that climbs up to the Sierra Plana de la Borbolla, as far as the local LLN-4 road, where you turn right to reach Buelna, crossing the villages of Tobiu and Llavadero.

After going through the streets of Buelna towards the coast, and crossing the FEVE line again, we will find the path that leads to Pendueles, a place where there is a varied representation of Indian houses.

Once in Pendueles, you will have covered a total of 21.9 km of coastal path.
