Las Brañas, the name of the route, are places located in the mountains where the cowboys take their cattle to graze in the summer, made up of small huts and corrals. The route begins in the town of Felechosa, right next to the hermitage of the Virgen de la Antigua. From this point we take the path that runs parallel to the Fresneo stream.
We begin to ascend gradually until we reach La Gamonal, where we begin to see that the valley narrows. The ascent continues through the areas of La Foz and El Mayaín, to soon reach the pass and braña of La Felguera. The path continues in an easterly direction and passes through the braña of La Valencia, and then crosses the brañas of L'Otero, Las Ordaliegas and La Tabierna, the latter being the highest point on the route.
From here we begin a continuous descent, in which we will have to cross the Cuirgo stream once we have passed the crossroads of El Pinganón. We continue along the route crossing La Campona, the Cel.lero pass and finally the Los Cuadrazos mountain pass. In a short time the path ends at the bottom of the valley, in the village of Cuevas, where we will find the recreational area called Las Moyás, the final point of the route.
From this place, there is the possibility of reaching the starting point by the path that leaves from the La Muñeca bridge and runs parallel to the AS-112 road.

Basic tips before going into the mountains
- Avoid approaching livestock.
- If you find mastiffs protecting livestock, do not approach them, do not pet them and do not feed them. Do not allow them to follow you or stray from their herd. They are working.
- If you go with a dog, always keep it on a leash.
- Don't leave a trail. Collect all your waste, including organic waste. Nature is not a dumping ground.
- Act with prudence. Plan your route well, take everything you need and make sure it is adapted to your physical capacity.
