Route
Celoriu - San Antolin Beach 8
The route between Celoriu and the beach of San Antolín (Naves) begins in the square of the Monastery of San Salvador, from where we take a westerly direction, bordering the beach of Las Cámaras to link up with the beach of Palombina and then take the LL-9 road that goes to the town of Barru.
The initial part of the route continues along a third class road, taking advantage of the 1.5 m wide pavement that accompanies it. The path continues parallel to this road, at Cuetu Llanu it turns right onto a path and, once past the chapel of San Roque, it continues along a verge of the street in the neighbourhood of La Güera until it reaches the area of La Cuesta.
Between Barru and Niembru, the route crosses a spectacular holm oak forest and ends on a laminated wooden footbridge over the Calabrés stream, at the mouth of the Niembru inlet.
The route is signposted by means of beacons, road markings on the ground and fixed elements, which allow us to find our way around this area, known as La Barrera. After crossing the LL-11 road and entering the streets of Niembru, it reaches the upper part of the village, known as Campu La Viña.
From Campu La Viña the path continues to the viewpoint overlooking Torimbia Beach, which is presided over by the sculpture "Estela", the work of Ernesto Knorr.
The path then runs along the plateau known as Los Llanos, from which you can see the Cantabrian Sea to the north, the Cuera mountain range to the south and the foothills of the Picos de Europa in the distance.
The route descends through the area known as Cerro La Cuestona until it joins the old road to Llanes. From here it advances towards the beach of San Antolín, crossing the river Bedón by means of a structure of "corten" steel and treated wood, in the form of a footbridge. In this area you can appreciate the impressive view of the mouth of the Bedón at the beach of San Antolín. On its bank are the remains of the 11th century Romanesque monastery of Benedictine monks, of which only its 12th century church dedicated to San Antolin remains.
On the beach of San Antolin you can rest in a rest area that allows you to enjoy the views of the spectacular surroundings.
