Poncebos - Bulnes 6,6

The route starts in the vicinity of Poncebos, at the same point where the Cares Route begins. When you reach the first fork in the Cares Route, you will see the Casa de Jaya on your left. Passing over the bridge of the same name we will reach it and we will have to leave it on our left to begin the route. The route is almost entirely uphill.

After 300 metres from the start, cross the Zardu bridge to continue the ascent. Further on there is a zigzagging ascent up the mountainside.

After 2.5 kilometres, you will come to a fork. On the right hand side is the village of Bulnes de Arriba. Our path continues to the left. Some 400 metres further on, on the left hand side, we find the upper access to the Bulnes funicular railway, which the local inhabitants use in the absence of a road. The path continues for about 400 metres until we reach Bulnes.

We will have walked approximately 3.300 kilometres when we reach the village of Bulnes, the end of the first part of the route. Here we will find the church and the Casa del Puente, worth seeing.

WARNING! This route involves additional risks that are not directly related to the slope or level of difficulty of the canal itself: falling stones, polished surfaces that become dangerous in the rain, cliffs and other orographic features, little or no mobile phone coverage, etc., and also involves needs such as: carrying appropriate equipment, drinks to hydrate yourself, etc.

For all these reasons, ALWAYS BE VERY CAREFUL, AND EVEN MORE SO IF YOU ARE GOING WITH CHILDREN.
