If you want to spend a day cycling without too much continuous slope<\/strong>, this route is perfect. You will follow secondary roads, farm tracks with a good surface (gravel or concrete) and some trails to avoid the AS-114, which usually has a lot of traffic in summer and on weekends.
You will find many villages<\/strong> along the way, with their granaries, typical houses with balconies and galleries and naturally chigres to replenish your strength. There are also historical monuments such as the Roman Bridge of Cangas de On\u00eds<\/strong>, the Romanesque church of Abam\u00eda<\/strong>, a medieval tower and many Asturian mansions. Salvador Dal\u00ed is represented with sculptures in the private garden of the Labra Palace, but they are so large that they can be seen from far away. At the beginning or end of the route you can visit the Interpretation Center of the Bearded Vulture Mountains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Important note:<\/strong> This route is signposted between Benia and Cangas as GR-109 so you can follow the red and white waymarks. On the way back we only follow parts of marked routes, so it is very important to always follow the track. If you want to do it on a GRAVEL bike, there will be a couple of short sections where you have to carry your bike by hand (or on your back).<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/strong> If you want to avoid the only technical stretch between Labra and Cangas on the slopes of Pico Arbol\u00edn, you can follow the asphalt road through Onao to Cardes and then the river path to Cangas de On\u00eds.<\/p>\n
