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.

August 11, 2022,Alto de la Farrapona 🥰🥵😅

Beautiful and hard climb to the Saliencia Lakes, better known as the Farrapona, especially its last 6 kms and even above with a headwind, then the climb to Somiedo was aborted again due to two punctures 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
