Pereda de Ancares is a small, picturesque village in León, surrounded by mountains that preserve the rural essence of the area. It is characterized by its stone and slate houses, along with traditional granaries.

The Ancares Pass from Pereda de Ancares is one of the toughest and most spectacular climbs in the Cantabrian Mountains. It's a pass that has become legendary thanks to La Vuelta.

The Cerredo Pass is located on the regional border between Asturias and Castile and León. Its mountain setting with endless views is breathtaking.

Degaña is a municipality and parish in the Principality of Asturias, located in the valley of the same name. Prehistoric settlements are documented by the existence of burial mounds and fortified ruins, while the medieval period has left little documentary evidence. The local economy has traditionally been based on subsistence agriculture and livestock farming until the development of coal mining operations in the second half of the 20th century. These operations are now closed, and the local economy has shifted toward rural tourism.

It's one of the many border crossings between Asturias and León. In this case, it connects Villablino with the town of Cerredo and, above all, Degaña. It's a very pretty pass and a great alternative to the Leitariegos Pass for entering Asturias. It's easier than the Leitariegos Pass and definitely has less traffic. Both sides are very similar, with just 5 km of fairly challenging terrain. The Asturian side has a couple of tough kilometers at 7% gradient as it leaves the town of Cerredo. The León side is more consistent, with more curves and better views.

This climb is a must if you're touring the area. It's seven and a half kilometers long, with the gradient concentrating on the final section. You ascend nearly 700 meters and face 19% gradients in a unique setting.

At the end of the 11th century, Osmundo, Bishop of Astorga, ordered the construction of a bridge (partly made of iron = pons ferrata) over the Sil for the pilgrims on the Way of St. James, near which a settlement was built. At the "pons ferrata", the iron bridge, the Knights Templar built a huge castle on a surface area of 160 x 90 m to protect the pilgrims on the Way of St. James. The medieval castle complex was inhabited by the Knights Templar from 1178 to 1312. Source: Wikipedia

The Templars' heyday from the 12th to 14th centuries led to the construction of this mighty fortress, among other things to protect the pilgrims on the Way of St. James. The rampart on the city hill stands out impressively against the mountain backdrop and absolutely conforms to the stereotypical image of a knight's castle. It is sensationally well maintained and a feast for the eyes.
