Route Espinaredo, Piloña
From Infiesto to Espinaredo and Riofabar. Piloña. Central area of Asturias.
In this village there is the highest concentration of granaries in all of Asturias. In Espinaréu hórreos and paneras coexist, these last ones are very similar to the first ones but of greater capacity, with six pegoyos instead of four, corridor, balustrade and greater number of ornaments. Just three kilometers from the rural center, along the winding road that leads to Riofabar, we discover two excellent places to rest: the La Pesanca recreational area and the Miera Arboretum, located on the banks of the Infierno river. Without a doubt, an excursion to do with the little ones of the house.

Route Tielve-Sotres
Cabrales, Picos de Europa.
From Arenas de Cabrales we link with the AS-264 towards Poncebos, continue for 5 kms. to get to Tielve.
Cheese remains the epicenter of the activity. Cabrales de Tielve is one of the tastiest in the area, with centuries of tradition and a good number of national and international awards. Located about 700 meters above sea level and inhabited by less than a hundred people. A mountain village with stone houses, with the Church of San Cristobal presiding over a square where there is no lack of such characteristic elements as the laundry room or the bowling alley.
If we follow the winding road we arrive at Sotres, the highest town in the Asturian geography, after 11 kilometers from Poncebos.
Nucleus in a certain urbanized level, where farmers, adventurers and entrepreneurs coexist. There is a high level of hospitality, mountain guides, and a high quality of artisan products, authentic jewels of tradition, both in food (sausages, meats, cheeses) and in prized objects of folk art that springs up between mountains. There are also no Cabrales cheese makers.
