From Colombres to Llanes

Throughout this stage we will enter the eastern Asturias. After leaving Colombres we will have the opportunity to discover one of the most significant and unique corners of the Asturian coast: the "Bufones de Arenillas". Bufones de Arenillas they are spectacular! Finally our stage will end in Llanes, one of the most famous and touristic Asturian villages, which has been the scene of numerous Spanish films.

During this stage, we will be traveling entirely through Asturian territory. We will depart from the town hall square of Colombres heading towards the N-634 road, which connects to the town of Llanes. We will follow this route until we reach El Peral and subsequently, La Franca.

From La Franca, we will divert between roads and dirt tracks towards the south until we cross the Cabra River. Once we have crossed the river, we will ascend slightly again until we reconnect with the N-634, which we will follow until we reach Buelna.

Upon arriving in Pendueles, we will have to choose between continuing along the official inland path or the coastal trail. We are clear on our choice: the coastal trail is much more spectacular. Following this option, we will walk from Pendueles to Vidiago, enjoying its beautiful beach. A little further on, we will have the opportunity to visit the spectacular Bufones de Arenillas.

Subsequently, we will cross the Purón River before reaching Andrín, leaving behind the stretch close to the coastline. This stage offers its last scenic gift at the Mirador de la Boriza, located between Andrín and Cue. From there, we will enjoy stunning views of the cliffs and beaches, with Llanes visible in the distance. Now, we only have to reach Cue and complete the journey to Llanes.
