ラ・モンターニャ・デ・ルナのおすすめツーリングルート

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 La Pola de Gordón, this wooden bench faces directly over the Bernesga River and its small waterfall. Decorated with a colorful scarf knitted by local women, it has become a symbol of affection for the place. Here, everything moves slowly: the water, the train, the conversations. As you sit down, the murmur of the river and the tranquility of the valley make it seem as if time itself slows down with you.

The path climbs gently and opens abruptly into a hollow where the wind is ever-present. It was once used by shepherds crossing with their livestock to the summer pastures, and the remains of old dry-stone walls that marked the way can still be seen. From the top, the landscape widens, and the feeling is one of being between two worlds: the valley behind you and the mountain that awaits ahead.

San Emiliano is the capital of the Babia region in León, a small town surrounded by mountains and meadows where you can breathe the essence of rural León life. Its stone houses, church, and natural surroundings make it an ideal starting point for exploring Babia's protected landscapes.

The view toward the village of La Peral is very beautiful if the weather is good. Slow down your bike a little and look up for a few seconds.

The Alba Bridge is an 18th-century structure spanning the Bernesga River. It is also known locally for a car accident involving some bullfighters in the 1920s. They were traveling in an open-top car and fell into the river. Local residents rushed to their aid, and the following year the bullfighters organized a town festival in gratitude.
