Asturias (/æˈstʊəriəs, ə-/; Spanish: [asˈtuɾjas]; Asturian: Asturies [asˈtuɾjes]; Galician: Asturias), officially the Principality of Asturias (Spanish: Principado de Asturias; Asturian: Principáu d'Asturies), is an autonomous community in north-west Spain. It is coextensive with the province of Asturias, and contains some of the territory that was part of the larger Kingdom of Asturias in the Middle Ages. Divided into eight comarcas (counties), the autonomous community of Asturias is bordered by Cantabria to the east, by Castile and León to the south, by Galicia to the west, and by the Bay of Biscay to the north.

We did extended version of the route from Poncebos to Cordiñanes de Valdeón in 2 days with overnight stay. The total length of our route was 18km one way. We enjoyed every meter of this relatively easy hike with stunning views. The weather was great and we were lucky that it was not that crowded. The route from Cain further to Cordiñanes has no people at all and we had this part of the hike totally for ourselves. It goes through a beautiful forest and tiny settlements that seem abandoned. This part goes slightly up the hill all the time but nothing extreme. Once you reach the village of Cordiñanes there is a beautiful viewing platform on the mountains - Mirador del Tombo. The village itself is tiny but totally worth exploring and spending at least a night there. The food is wow. Would definitely recommend the extended version as you’ll get more to see and experience.
