This is one of the most popular walking trails of the Picos de Europa located between the Provinces of Leon and Asturias. The 11 km path passes through the Cares River gorge from Cain of Valdeon to Puente Poncebos and was originally the only path of communication between the two villages in winter. Having been modified to support a canal (between 1916-1921 and again after 1945), the walk now more easily passes through caves, paths carved into the rock and modern bridges.
Peaks in this valley are over 2500 M, Cain village about 640 M and Poncebos about 210 M. Our drive to get there was another matter.
