The Leitariegos Pass is a mountain pass located at an altitude of 1,520 meters in a beautiful natural setting. It's an ideal stopover point on the trails and has a bar and restaurant.

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.

Visiting the Muniellos Reserve by bicycle is not possible. However, if you approach the reserve area by road bike, that is, by climbing the Connio Pass, then a visit to the Muniellos Interpretive Center is a must. Furthermore, the road leading to the Center is spectacular.

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.

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

Highly recommended, it can be done together with the Palo departing from Pola, the Marta is shorter but with a steeper slope
