Among the theories surrounding the unusual name of this mountain pass, one is the popular legend that some shepherdesses were caught in a blizzard and died in a nearby shelter. In any case, the pass is located in a stunning setting.

right in the center of Tineo, a very interesting area

One of the great Asturian mountain passes, without a doubt. Generally unknown to the general public, it's rarely used in professional races. It has two clearly distinct slopes. The southern slope, which begins in Pola de Allande, is gentle and steady, along a road in good condition. It shares much of its climb with Puerto del Palo, which it turns off from just 3 km from the summit of Puerto de la Marta. The northern slope, which comes from Villayon, is uneven, with very tough sections and several rest stops and descents. It reminds me a lot of the Croix-de-Fer from Sant Jean de Maurienne, not because of the landscape, but because of the type of pass.

It's one of the major mountain passes in southwestern Asturias. It connects Pola de Allande with Berducedo. It's part of the northern variant of the Camino de Santiago. Highly recommended for its views, whether climbing its two slopes or from its summit.

The historic center of Tineo, in Asturias, is a place of great heritage and cultural value, declared a Historic Site. This town, capital of the municipality of the same name, is located in western Asturias and is known for its rich history, its connection to the Primitive Way of St. James, and its exceptional natural surroundings.

The Monastery of Santa María La Real de Obona was founded, according to a disputed original document that disappeared in the 17th century, by Prince Adelgaster (illegitimate son of King Don Silo) and his wife, Doña Brunilde, on January 17, 780. Obona was a major cultural and economic center. The monks perfected agricultural and livestock techniques, and Latin, philosophy, and theology classes were taught in its classrooms. The church is large and sober, built in the 13th century following the strict principles of the Cistercian order. It has three naves, the central one taller and wider resting on columns, three circular apses preceded by a triumphal arch, and a main portal of Romanesque architecture. Interior highlights include the Holy Christ of Obona, a magnificent Romanesque carving full of tenderness and balance. The outbuildings and the cloister were built in the 18th century, although they were never completed. Here you will find the oldest reference to cider, in a document from the period.

This one shelter was used to change clothes on our tour (with storms and wind).
