セナ・デ・ルナの天然記念物・トップ16

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 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.

The hermitage's surroundings are impressive, with rock formations dating back millions of years. The route to the hermitage is ideal for hiking and nature lovers, offering spectacular views and a unique experience. 😊

The Hermitage of the Virgin of Manadero is a rock sanctuary located in Piedrasecha, León. It is located in the Cueva de las Palomas, a place of great natural and spiritual beauty. The hermitage is dedicated to the Virgin of Manadero and is a point of interest on the Desfiladero de los Calderones route.

The route begins in the village of Piedrasecha and passes several points of interest, such as the Manadero spring and the Cueva de las Palomas, where the shrine of the Virgen del Manadero is located. The gorge is known for its natural beauty and its geological, biological, and scenic value.

The Calderones Gorge is located in Piedrasecha, in the province of León. It's a spectacular hiking trail that traverses a gorge so narrow that in several sections you can touch both rock faces just by stretching out your arms.

The Puerto de la Cubilla is a mountain pass on the border between the Principality of Asturias and the community of Castilla y León.

It is part of the TransCantábrica BTT route.
