아스투리아스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

해발 2500미터의 토레 데 로스 오르카도스 로호스는 나에게 상당히 도전적이었지만 해낼 수 있었고, 푸엔테 데 케이블카 산악역에서 출발하는 매우 인기 있는 투어의 끝에 있는 멋진 목표였습니다. 올해 휴가 중 최고의 투어였습니다. 절벽에 위험할 정도로 가까이 서 있지 않더라도 사방으로 숨 막힐 듯한 멋진 전망을 볼 수 있습니다. 정상 바로 전에는 이전 정상에서 맨 위로 올라가는 약간 까다로운 구간이 있습니다. 저는 왼쪽으로 가서 위로 올라갔지만, 다른 사람들은 오른쪽으로 바로 올라가기도 했습니다.

The ascent of Pico Pienzu can be one of the most rewarding routes you'll find in the Asturian mountains. The contrast between sea and mountains at its summit will leave you speechless, and any route you choose for the climb will offer a fantastic day in the mountains.

The pass is now paved and can be driven on by car.

During the mining era, this pass served as a discreet link between mines on either side, and minimal traces of old cart and mule traffic remain, though they don't coincide with the current road. From above, the wind is almost constant, and the view towards the Saliencia lakes has that air of a "natural viewpoint" before the term even existed. It's perfect to mark on Komoot as a key point on your route due to its spaciousness, its somewhat hidden history, and its character as a natural border.

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.

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.
