Tuña (Tineo)

Tuña (Tineo).

On its winding route, which follows the rugged Asturian relief, Nature Trail of the Cantabrian Mountains is one of the most attractive Nature Trails in Spain.

Do you dare follow the trail? Plan the 27 stages well or divide it into several trips and take up the challenge. At every step you will see how the landscape changes, as you go from hills to the bottom of valleys, walking along one of the countless waterways, and how the peacefulness inside the forest ends up creating an incomparable natural atmosphere. Despite it being a long way, you certainly won't want it to end - because you are in Asturias!

Don't miss...
  • The range of forests along the Nature Tail, which runs through carbayo forest, sessile oak, beech, chestnut, conifer, riparian forests, etc.
  • The traditional architecture found in its path: granaries, bakeries, cortines (circular stone enclosures that defend beehives), etc.
  • Other historic trails that form part of the route such as Camín Real de la Mesa, Vía Romana de La Carisa and the Original Way of St. James.
