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.

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.

It is a small Romanesque church located in a mountainous area known as Fuentes del Narcea. According to legend, the church was built in the 9th century by a group of monks who discovered a statue of the Virgin Mary in a holly tree. The statue became known as the "Virgin of the Holly" or the "Virgin of the Holly," and the church was built in her honor. The interior of the church is decorated with frescoes from the 12th and 13th centuries, depicting scenes from the Bible and the life of Christ. The altar has a beautiful reredos carved in wood and painted with gold leaf, with images of the Virgin Mary, Saints Peter and Paul, and other saints. A popular destination for pilgrims and tourists who come to admire the beautiful architecture and rich history of the church. It is also a starting point for several hiking trails that lead to the nearby mountain peaks.

When visiting the town of Cangas del Narcea, it's worth visiting the suspension bridge next to the Basilica of Mary Magdalene. As you cross the bridge on this side, look to the left to admire the views of the Roman bridge and the Ambasaguas neighborhood with its Church of the Virgin of Carmen.

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.

A must-visit town, with a water fountain and good bars where you can have a drink and eat something.
