Lamuño-Oleiros-Concha de Artedo

This circular route starts and ends in the square of Lamuño and offers a serene experience between the rugged coastline of the council of Cudillero and the inland landscapes of the Luiñas valley, with no steep gradients and a very varied itinerary that combines sea, forest and culture.

The path begins on an asphalted road that soon turns into a path flanked by vegetation. After a few metres, we enter the pine forest of Monte Valsera, where there is a large recreational area ideal for resting or taking a break. At this point, the path offers a view over the village of Artedo and the mountainous relief of the inland area.

The route continues through oak and chestnut groves, and after a fork in the road leads us to the beautiful and hidden beach of Oleiros, a rocky cove with a wild appearance. From there, we return to the main path that runs through wooded areas and small rural villages, crossing streams and passing through the upper part of the village of Mumayor, where it joins the Camino de Santiago.

One of the most unique sections of the route is the one that leads to the Concha de Artedo beach, 600 metres long. Here there is a marshy plain that the route crosses by means of a wooden footbridge. This wetland, hidden behind the beach and connected to the sea by a natural filtration system between stones, constitutes the main ecological value of the route.

In the last stretch, the path between houses and vegetable gardens takes us back to the starting point in Lamuño. Before concluding, it is worth visiting two singular heritage elements: the Rosary Chapel and the Chapel of La China, dating from the 18th century and of Indian origin. The latter owes its name to a Marian image with oriental features which, according to tradition, was recovered after a shipwreck of a boat from the Philippines.

This route is ideal for those looking for a quiet walk, with a diversity of landscapes and small hidden treasures to be discovered step by step.
