One of the best-known stages of the primitive road is the so-called Ruta de los Hospitales, famous for running through mountain areas, its landscapes and the panoramic views that can be admired on a clear day. From the door of the hostel, in just one kilometer we will reach the top of the Portiella, which will lead us to visit the different Hospitals. On the way up we will discover the so-called Llanos de Abajo and de Arriba, two jackets that give rest to the climb.

Abandoned or semi-abandoned old towns always tend to have a certain interest because in them we can see first-hand what the houses were like and how past generations lived. In the case of Colinas we have good examples, Coucellin Besapié or Curriellos are some of them, all of them are in a state of semi-abandonment and with one or no inhabitant. We will be able to reach everyone both by car and on foot, this second option being more interesting due to the landscape that can be seen since part of the route is shared with the aforementioned Hospitals route. The towns are located in an enclave of great interest, surrounded by large mountains and lush vegetation that recall the times when trees covered the slopes of the mountains.

The council of Tineo has always been a benchmark in terms of nature, be it for its forests, mountains, rivers, etc. In this case we focus on one of its trees, famous for its age and size. The so-called Carbayo de Valentin, so called because it is located in the town of Valentín, next to the chapel of San Pedro. The specimen stands out not so much for its height (about 16 meters), but for the width of its trunk, reaching a maximum perimeter of 10 meters. Its antiquity has been determined by its diameter and has been corroborated by ancient writings prior to the discovery of America in which it is already mentioned, so it is understood that at that time it already had dimensions large enough to be named.

Located in the vicinity of the town of San Martín de Beduledo, in the council of Allande, are the remains of the castro de San Chuis. Discovered in 1952 by a resident of the council and studied in depth from 1962 to 1996. In 1997 the start of its conditioning, signage, consolidation and restoration of structures was approved.

Within the town we have points that could be attractive for the traveler. The Camino Primitico crosses the two streams that run on both sides of the hill of Colinas, streams that we avoided jumping from stone to stone. We are lucky to have a neighbor, a renowned dry stone artist (Pepe Satorno), who selflessly embellished the steps with bridges and recovered the lost source of Mal Tiempo.

One of the easiest routes, but at the same time the most interesting for its landscapes, begins a few meters from the hostel. It runs along a dirt road that the trees envelop until we find ourselves immersed in the characteristic darkness of the native Asturian forest.

This walk, just over a kilometer long, is part of the Hospitals route described above. Starting in the town of Colinas de Arriba we can climb to the top of the Portiecha, the first mountain pass of the Hospitals route, where we can enjoy its green meadow to rest, while we can see the Picos de Europa . If we go up at the right time we can see cows or horses in a state of semi-freedom, which come to this jacket to “fly” (the animals take advantage of the breeze to get rid of the flies).

In the vicinity of the town of Tineo are the so-called Cascadas de Mañores, so called because they are located in the town of Mañores. They are about 20 meters high and the circular route that can be done is approximately 6 km.

Finally, in the neighboring town of Navelgas, apart from being able to enjoy through its streets what was an exemplary town in Asturias in 2003, we have the possibility of visiting the Asturias Gold Museum. It has been located in Navelgas for its international fame for gold extraction, as well as for the celebration of numerous national, European and international batting championships. The gold rush in Navelgas begins at the time of the Roman occupation, when numerous mines were built in the valley.
