The route starts at La Perea and heads towards Lloreo, passing a unique construction: a level crossing over the path. From here, the path enters an autochthonous forest, reaching Los Averinos, close to Lloreo. After crossing three bridges - one limestone and two metal bridges - you reach the Lloreo recreational area and, shortly afterwards, Lloreo station, where you will find the Aula del Ferrocarril, a space dedicated to the railway history of the area.

In a clear stretch, the path passes next to the Funtilixán spring, ideal for a brief rest before continuing towards an old quarry located to the left of the path. In this sector, the views of the Lloreo valley are spectacular, allowing us to observe the layout of the rural settlements scattered among meadows and leafy woods.

Continuing along the route, we come to the first tunnel, so it is advisable to carry a torch to make it easier to pass through the different tunnels along the route. This section alternates areas of closed vegetation with open panoramic views of the valley, crossing La Vega San Pedro, which allows you to appreciate the diversity of the natural and rural environment.

The route continues to the fourth tunnel, which marks the end of the practicable section, as the fifth tunnel remains closed due to the activity of a nearby mining operation. From this point, we return along the same path, completing a round-trip route that allows us to discover the landscape, history and railway heritage of the area.

Those who wish to extend the walk can link up with the Lloreo Valley Route (PR-AS 36), extending the options for exploring this area. Throughout the route, there are constructions linked to the old railway line, as well as fountains and rest areas, which allow you to enjoy the route in comfort. This is an ideal itinerary for families, combining nature and industrial heritage in an accessible path that invites you to immerse yourself in the history of the railway in Asturias.

  • Cyclable route.
  • It is advisable to carry a torch for passing through the tunnels.

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.
