Bike routes near the rivers in Asturias

This is one of the best-known itineraries for bikers and hikers, whatever your level of experience. Originally a railway line, it’s now a Greenway that passes through the villages of Quirós, Santo Adriano, Proaza and Teverga. On this excursion you might even be lucky enough to spot a Cantabrian brown bear. It’s a route of around 30 kilometres, and you’ll see that on the map it looks rather like an inverted ‘Y’. You could do the whole thing in one go - if you’re feeling particularly energetic - although we’d recommend doing it in two stages so that you can fully enjoy your surroundings. If you choose to do this, you’ll go to the left of the Trubia river, later leaving it on your right, and taking the path between the river and the road. Great for a getaway, or if you’re travelling around Asturias. La Senda del Oso is very near Oviedo, the capital of the region. 

This is a trail that allows you to get to know the Central Mountain area of Asturias. A route that’s 165 kilometres long, and that is divided into eight stages. The GR-208 is ideal for MTB (mountain bike) lovers. It’s well signposted and easy to follow, but it is challenging. Along the way you’ll immerse yourself in magnificent natural landscapes such as the Sierra del Aramo, the Las Ubiñas-La Mesa Natural Park, the Vía Carisa and the Protected Landscape of the Cuencas Mineras. In the final stage you’ll be able to ride along the banks of the Nalón river, and so bring to an end a wonderful experience in Asturias.
