リオトゥエルトの峠・トップ8

Uphill road with beautiful views and a quick descent towards Treto

There is usually confusion between El Esquilo and Fuente las Varas, well, El Esquilo is a pass that we find at this point and that takes its name from the neighborhood belonging to the municipality of Voto that we have just passed through if we have started the ascent in the Arás Valley. After crowning it, we only have to finish the ascent to the crossroads called Puerto de Fuente las Varas through much softer terrain, where we can enjoy the views offered by the Matienzo poljé and the peaks of Asón that can already be glimpsed. Peña Rocias, Colina and Porracolina.

The port has an altitude of 350 meters, a distance of 3.65 km and an average slope of 7%. The asphalt is in very good condition. The road runs next to wooded areas but the shadows are not very abundant. There are almost no cars.

Mythical port in Cantabria with views that will surprise you. It is very enjoyable by bike, the road is in good condition and everything is well signposted. You go through very pretty towns.

A port with 3 slopes, without a doubt one of my favorites in this area. Gateway to some of the best routes through Eastern Cantabria

Mountain pass that connects the Miera and El Pisueña valleys, more specifically the towns of San Roque de Riomiera and Selaya. The two slopes of the port have spectacular views of the two valleys and their mountains, highlighting the Porracolina, the climb to Puerto de Lunada, the Picones de Sopeña and of course the great king of this entire area, the Castro Valnera.
