Road cycling

Nice pass from Pola de Allande that takes you to Bustantigo via Brana el Campel along a stunning road with views to the Ancient Roman gold mine "La Freita" to your left. Alternative route to descend to the magical village of Pontenova sitting in a deep valley to then return along a steep climb to Montefurau. Continue back to Pola de Allande vial El Palo or towards Berducedo. Plenty of options.
