Camín de la Reina

The route begins in Sotu, where a well-defined path leads through meadows, groves and small villages, a reflection of the traditional Asturian landscape. You soon reach Llames, where the church of San Martín de Escoto stands out, of medieval origin and sober structure, next to the Llames fountain, a good place to take a break.

From here, the path continues towards Viabañu, alternating between open areas and shady stretches under indigenous trees, while the road is reminiscent of the route of the old Camino Real. The atmosphere is silent, rural, interrupted only by the singing of birds or the murmur of a fountain.

Further on, the route crosses Romiyu, where the simple chapel of San Lorenzo is a reminder of the religious and communal nature of these paths. The next village is Romiyín, which marks the beginning of the last stretch before reaching Cangues d'Onís/Cangas de Onís. The landscape here opens up more, showing the undulating topography of eastern Asturias and preparing the walker for the symbolic end of the route: the arrival at the Roman Bridge of Cangues d'Onís/Cangas de Onís, emblem of the Principality of Asturias, under whose arch hangs the iconic Victoria Cross.

From this point, you can return on foot along the same path or use public transport to return to Sotu, which allows you to adapt the route to the abilities and interests of each person.

The Camín de la Reina is not only a route connecting villages, but also a living historical testimony to the passage of emperors, queens and entire generations of walkers. A journey that invites you to discover the rural soul of Asturias, walking calmly between churches, fountains, meadows and memory, at the leisurely pace of the paths that stand the test of time.
