サンエミリアーノ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Upon reaching the summit, you don't arrive at a village or a tourist center, but rather at a kind of natural balcony overlooking the Lena mountain passes, which gives a strange feeling, as if you've stepped onto an empty stage. And on clear days, the wind is louder among the mountain passes than any car, because traffic is minimal.

For decades, La Cubilla was practically a ghost town: a road built to connect mining valleys, used more by livestock farmers and scattered trucks than by travelers. This lack of traffic left a remarkably clean route, free of curves, absurd straights, and modern widenings: pure mountain design from another era. That's why many cyclists say it "looks more like an Alpine pass than a Cantabrian one," with those giant limestone walls silently accompanying you.

The food is very good, and the people who run it are very attentive. I recommend contacting them via WhatsApp to make a reservation.

The La Cubilla mountain pass is located at an altitude of 1,683 meters, on the border between Asturias and León. Its rugged terrain and the beauty of its surroundings have earned it the title of stage finisher of the Vuelta a España, making it one of the most iconic climbs among cyclists.

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.

Beautiful place, hard to get to, worth it. Surrounded by mountains.

The Puerto de la Cubilla is a mountain pass on the border between the Principality of Asturias and the community of Castilla y León. By MTB you can get there from San Emiliano (ten kilometers and 500 meters of positive gradient) or from Caldas de Luna (17 kilometers and 730 meters of positive gradient). It is part of the TransCantábrica BTT route.

The Meicín refuge is located in the Las Ubiñas - La Mesa natural park, at 1560 meters above sea level, in the heart of the Ubiña massif. It is accessed from Tuiza de Arriba, where there is a car park and it takes about 50 minutes to get there. From Tuiza there is signage, indicating both the "summer path" and the "winter path". The latter avoids areas with avalanche danger in winter. Meals are served at the refuge and you can spend the night. It is advisable to make a reservation in advance at www.refugiodelmeicin.es
