As Minas Route

The route starts in the town of Tol. At the crossroads of the church of San Salvador, follow the signs to the parking area Fontequias, in the vicinity of the neighborhood of Cabaleiros.

After leaving the vehicle, we head up the mountain on a paved road. On the way, we will see one of the most important cattle ranches in Asturias in terms of head of cattle, production and prizes. If you are interested in approaching it, the owners will be pleased to help you. Leaving the place of Boudois behind, we find a dirt road on the right that leads to the mine. At this point, the asphalt gives way to a nice path that runs through lush vegetation along the left bank of the Boudois stream. Turning right at the next crossroads we can see the remains of the furnace of the old iron mine. At this point an explanatory panel tells us some curiosities about it. We continue ascending to finally reach the top of Mount Arbedosa from where we can see a panoramic view that will undoubtedly surprise the traveler for its spectacular and chromatic variety. The blue of the coast blends with the green of the coast that appears tinted with black and white specks that make up small villages. It is worth stopping for a moment in Arbedosa and play to discover in the distance corners like Penarronda beach. From this point the route continues along an unpaved dirt track that descends to take us to the starting point.
