サンエミリアーノのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The pass is now paved and can be driven on by car.

During the mining era, this pass served as a discreet link between mines on either side, and minimal traces of old cart and mule traffic remain, though they don't coincide with the current road. From above, the wind is almost constant, and the view towards the Saliencia lakes has that air of a "natural viewpoint" before the term even existed. It's perfect to mark on Komoot as a key point on your route due to its spaciousness, its somewhat hidden history, and its character as a natural border.

In 1926, the Mieres Town Council purchased the pastures in the area for its livestock, building Casa Mieres there as a refuge for shepherds and a support point in the high mountain passes. Years later, during the Civil War, the surrounding area was filled with parapets, trenches, and small defensive posts due to its strategic position between valleys. The contrast between the peaceful life of the shepherds and the militarized landscape left traces that can still be discerned in the nearby hills: low walls, cuts in the rock, and remnants of old positions. It is a place where the current silence coexists with stories of hard work, swift fogs, and guarded passes.

Puerto de Ventana is a mountain pass located in the Cantabrian Mountains, between the Principality of Asturias and the province of León. It lies at an altitude of 1,587 meters and connects the municipality of San Emiliano in León with the Asturian municipality of Teverga. From the pass, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the San Emiliano Valley, known as Babia de Yuso.
