La Collá/La Collada - La Collá/La Collada 5,5

This short route starts in the village of La Collá, in Morcín, and begins on a path that starts a few metres below the village. There is a signpost with instructions. After the first 300 metres, the route runs along a wide path, uphill, with hardly any ascent at first and shaded by a leafy and beautiful forest.

Half a kilometre further on, as the forest ends, the path becomes narrower and steeper and takes on the shape of a zigzag. When we reach kilometre 1.3 of the start of the path, we pass right next to the formation known as the Bishop's Chair, where legend has it that Bishop Toribio sat down to rest when he was carrying the Holy Relics.

Almost at the end of the route, at kilometre 2, after this laborious route, we enter a softer and wider path, which corresponds to the Vega Mayéu, where the chapels, the chapel of La Magdalena and the hermitage of Santiago are located. From here we return to La Collá, the end of our route.
