It's a mountain pass that marks the border between Asturias and León. It's the starting point for countless hikes, including the Saliencia Lakes hike, in a beautiful setting. A magical place, no matter the season.

One of the highlights of the VUELTA! Please only approach from Pola de Somiedo, otherwise not paved. Except for MTB's!

Beautiful climb from Somiedo valley. The road east towards Puerto de Ventana is partly rough gravel and a bit steep, but can be done on a road bike if you really want to
