Nonaya Waterfall (Salas)


On day 19 February 2011 we invited a group of friends to spend the weekend the house with Guti in Cangas de Narcea, more specifically in Corian, but to seize the day I was asked to organize an easy route and simply because both Guti and his wife Eva are not doing anything of Mt. So I was thought we could make the path of the cascade of Nonaya, a short path that takes longer than two hours to make way trip, it is advisable even for kids as it is all on the flat and has no difficulty. This route I had never done but last year when I did the Camino Primitivo de Santiago on the stage out of room and ends in Tineo just passed the turning that goes to this waterfall and that was when I realized how easy I was and signed up for future routes.
At ten o'clock we were all in rooms for breakfast and check on her the day as all the previous week had rained, very lucky as we accompany our sun all day.
begin the journey from the square of the field next to the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maggiore (s. XVI) and the Palace of Valdés de Salas (s. XVI), right where the pavement of the Plaza de la Campa is the launching pad for the stage of the Camino de Santiago Salas, Tineo and that is the path we must follow.
After we greet all the dogs with loud barks and houses in the last room we can see the river Nonaya accompanied us for much of the road. Soon we find the source of Pain reformed in 1992 for the Camino de Santiago, after this source we found some old landings kaolin mine and a small fur curtidero totally abandoned, the path now earns above the river that is increasingly squeezed in the valley

path in the pretty village of Salas.

just passing under the motorway to Tineo future.


The walk since the road not be called otherwise walking is pleasant all the time by a small riverside forest, which dominate large number of trades, oak, ash and hazel. Continue the road bridge crossing a limestone structure with arch spanning the step Bodenaya saw, birthplace Nonaya River, we slowly enjoying the scenery and with far less clay than expected to reach another bridge of similar characteristics, right at the beginning of this bridge are well indicated a deviation to the right that leads to the river, thus abandoning the Camino de Santiago, after traveling no more than 250 meters of soft decline reaches the little-known waterfall Nonaya After the big week of rain that we had was a pleasure to see the amount of water he brought. This waterfall is not very big but in times of heavy rainfall, how are you glad to contemplate the great flow of water brings.
after submitting a bunch of photos and jokes typical push me push you we can only give back the same way and return quietly to the village of Salas.

Bars-Store


Since the route of the waterfall of Nonaya very soon finished it decided to do another route but this car, which is nothing but to go stopping at one of the bars-store (one of my biggest weaknesses) that are on the road to Cangas de Narcea, it is not we found standing at all since this area are still fairly abundant, although as in all Asturias less and less.
In the first bar stop-shop that was in the House Coxu, Tineo road where Toni I just recognized me from the grill, I gave the poor man when I passed by here walking to Santiago de Compostela, we received all with both kindly provided by him and by his lovely wife, good man there gave us some clarets charrada were very fresh and a good time with them, Toni told us why the name of the bar El Coxu, and that was why his father was born with one leg shorter than the other and as in all the villages of Asturias were fond of that the nicknames and so he dubbed the Coxu stay forever. We also had a little pain in his face that once the leave the bar in a few years, like many other bars closed-shop of Asturias and his son did not want to do with the business because it does not give even a duru, quote from the good Toni, what a pity.



The good and kind friend Toni, owner of Bar-shop The Coxu, is in direction Bodenaya Tineo.

continue our path and after a short visit to Tineo on our way toward the reservoir with Florida, where there is another great bar-shop called Casa Enrique, opposite the reservoir, this small but handsome bar-store is all a small museum of flies, bait and fishing gadgets old, where he still cooked in charcoal stove is clearly visible from the bar, of these if they are few cuisines, we take a great house sausages before continuing our Cangas de Narcea way.
And the last place of this little tour of bars, Corias store was just where Mr. Gutierrez has pernoztamos the house, a small and rather ugly bar-shop opposite the monastery of Corian, but with very friendly owners who were served good coffee with a great white residue in the area.



The magnificent house Henry Bar-shop, right in front of the swamp of Florida, do not leave without trying their wonderful sausages of the house.





Taking home a magnificent marc at Bar-Corias shop, right in front of the monastery of the same name that soon will become the inn, so I guess that little life will also be this little Bar-store.



Restaurante El Blanco (Cangas de Narcea)
A site where you can enjoy as a dwarf in every bite. Pepe

Ron is an imaginative guisandero Narcea banks, eager to please the customer.


With the famous and Pepe Ron Cook, and his brother Enrique Ron maitre.

Want to enjoy one of the best restaurants in Asturias? Then run to the White Cangas de Narcea, but before running to Cangas do not forget to book by phone because if not totally impossible to have lunch or dinner in this magnificent home as the place is small and has no further room for four tables.
Take off the fear of modernity misunderstood the great job that has the Pepe friend Ron, who bakes every day, to mark their territory within the Asturian cuisine, and well marked as it was working on for years by top chefs including Nacho Manzano. Then there's the great Engracia Linde, precursor and alma mater of this house, of traditional cuisine Engracia is well understood and unhurried bone charcoal stove, and there are very few places in Asturias where they cook in these kitchens authentic village give a special flavor to food and we remember the past, the viceroy to the furnace zampe I was one of those great memories to traditional cooking before, a real delicacy.


And of course the third in the saga of this family is Henry Ron, head waiter, a nice guy who spends energy and effort into pleasing the customer as it deserves and I think there are few people who understands both Gin Tonic , which was the dessert that we all (we are a little sweet, we prefer a good digestive after dinner), his friend Henry put us on the table some of his ten favorite gin, tonic and classes barias flavored ice personally by all one had never seen such as brushed, we did enjoy some combined all that had nothing to envy the Hemingway Bar in Paris.

In conclusion if ever you actually go to Cangas de Narcea not fail to go through the White will not regret I assure

The impressive Imperial Double skewer name partridge with vegetables, all edible but not enough, with whom participated in this year's Competition IV Asturias skewers and they were winners last year.

La Muela-Bermiego -Pedroveya-The Stage 1 Xanas



a long time colleague, Peter, a keen the mountain and I were mulling over the head with the intention to make the route Bermiego "The Angliru-Villalpando, so I prepare by studying all we had to catch buses on one side and another and we got down to work.
I arrive by train at eight ten and as the bus to leave Quiros Central Station Oviedo at 9, I take to get me a good breakfast under his belt in Santa Clara Cafe opposite the station, had that line because the day was going to be very long and very long walk.
After breakfast and reading the newspaper arrived at about quarter to nine at the bus station where I can see far off Pedro well prepared with a backpack waiting for me at box office, ask which is the stop closest Bermiego we can stop and the girl kindly tells us that in the grinding wheel, before making a change at the junction that leads to Teberga.
At ten o'clock least ten arrived at La Muela, who is just at the junction where you take the turning left into Bermiego, with a sun and a day I do not think we have all year and many more, that temperature itself was typical of February marked the hour the bus zero, so we cherish and begin walking as an aperitif and at the very beginning we had cold maternal three miles through tough climb and asphalt, so to half and stopped to take off clothes and I began to see the first patches of snow on the road but not by chance we had what we would expect then.
After about fifty minutes or so of hard climb and then with a great Bermiego we sweat, we went to the bar, village shop (horrible), where Elena with his great kindness always put a couple of manga cafes Gotes residue to enter into heat more than we brought and after a little charro it and tell us how to wear the winter, we now prepare themselves for the long walk.
we approach the mighty oak that is where we can see indications of a couple of routes, from here we approach the upper quarter of the town, called the Llano which we reach in big rise quickly in this neighborhood can still see the remains of an ancient palace of the lords of Ladreda, with abundant snow and the track is gaining altitude in a steep slope to the right, soon we a small hill where we had very good views of the valley with the landscape quirosano completely snowed.
descend a few meters and the snow to the top of the leggings but with the chance to go stepping on some tracks of a group of early risers mountaineer us, what made us the way a lot easier, we now see a deviation to the right that leads directly to the Shrine of Mercy but we still straight on the road and walking the tracks and throw in the snow which is appreciated.
already quite difficult for the amount of snow we got to the deviation of the chapel, we try to go to the fountain next to it but the snow was so great that we could not or approaching, a few yards and then proceeded in a cabin next who beat her and the morning sun found the group of mountaineers that we were paving the way with their traces.
This group of mountaineers were none other than the veterans of San Bernardo Mountain Group of Turon and the head of them one of the greatest mountaineers in Asturias and the area he knows best and who wrote books on the neighborhoods Aramo el gran Ángel Fernández Ortega, Ángel fue galardonado en el año 1983 como el mejor montañero asturiano por la Federación Asturiana de Montañismo, divulgó y divulga este deporte desde hace muchos años, hoy en día escribe sobre montaña todos los viernes en La Nueva España, llevó a cabo la señalización de Grandes Recorridos (GR), también publicó un montón de libros de montaña entre los más conocidos, Las 100 montañas más guapas de Asturias, Al Angliru por los caminos del Aramo y Paisajes y paisanajes de Asturias entre otros.
Paramos con ellos a charrar un poco mientras ellos daban buena cuenta a un suculento vermú con toda clase de embutidos y quesos, as it should be, even drinking from a wineskin, but what caught my attention was the instrument that had to transport the jug, which he never had seen and made me laugh (see photo).
I ask the good angel that direction would be good from here to go to Angliru because the snow there was not cake roads or trails, when I see Angel take the hands to the head and tell me if we are crazy with the snow there they will turn right there, that we turned better with them than with what had fallen this week was not the thing for jokes and less to get to the Angliru, so we immediately removed of the head up to the Angliru and told us that as he saw we were not going to flip (two very big heads) that we could internalize although discouraged us not to take the racket was going to Pedrovella, but with the snow that had super- we would not see or the road or anything like that would cost us a lot further without the above pairs.


The beautiful and famous people Bermiego.







A Señoriño of the people who came down with great care to avoid slipping in the snow and ice by the bar-store bread.







Just start walking and pick it up quickly and we could see our feet Bermiego snow.





Shortly after passing through the upper town the amount of snow increased rapidly.




Shortly before arriving at the chapel of La Merced and the snow was so great that the chapel barely appreciated and snow here and we covered her leggings.



These are some of the components in the San Bernardo mountain of Turon, which gave us good advice as it not to be not as they had finished the thing.




The famous Angel Fernández Ortega, one of the greatest mountaineers of Asturias and part of the board of San Bernardo mountain group of Turon.



call this device so that echo with the knot of a root of a tree climber and these good people use it to transport without breaking the jug and later would share a drink of wine with them .


Well after a drink with them, make us some pictures together, we said goodbye to the famous group of veterans and we start our journey alone to Pedrovella, we now turn to a small group of huts in the distance we took turns to go as the opening track, which went before sinking to the top of the leggings which made us move very slowly.
After overcoming this group of cabins called Linares we approached a gate check for missing the cattle here are the latest sign of the path that reveals a bit in the snow, but from here and no signs or way or anything, that Angel was right to turn around but good as the day was splendid took it easy and more or less as I had already made years ago not There were major problems.
We come now to the source of Bumbio where we stopped for a rest and refreshment in this area I think to walk one hundred meters with what we sank it took us at least 20 minutes without exaggeration, at this point began a little despair did not know whether to continue or turn around and not see anything of the road and we had dropped two in some other pond sinking to the chest, is the lack of pictures in many areas since the third time that I decided I sank crap around and keep the camera.


After eating some fruit and decide to continue the adventure (with snowshoes would have been beautiful this route), we arrive at Pando pass of the Mortera (1.120m) maximum height of the entire route, proceeded with great difficulty falling northbound between a lovely little forest of Aleppo that the snow was beautiful, we crossed to reach the Buxana braña , crossed at a slow pace and lifting his knees to his shoulders to win the pass Buxana, if from this point we move a few meters to the west (left) could magnificent views of Serandi, San Martin and Proaza, but as for deviations were us, so we leave it for next time, we are gradually decreasing from said collar and in the distance we can observe other climbers in a cabin trying to do this route from Pedrovella to Bermiego, just in reverse than ours but they told us once we achieve that in the beef cattle given up by the amount of snow and returning Pedrovella.
From this point we can only go along the small path to go blurred gradually losing altitude and eventually come to the village of La Rebollada also completely snowed, and from this town by road and with a great dipping we address Pedroveya where we stopped for lunch in the sun next to the church and a yew that we wait a bit dry clothes. Once recovered

forces went back down the route of The Xanas to reach the recreational area of \u200b\u200bthe Mill Xanas where we washed a bit remove the mud and headed to the bar for a couple of cold beers before the bus arrives to take us back to Oviedo. In short a real ordeal but the day was worth it, so hopefully next month with less snow and we can make the route Bermiego-The-Villalpando-Morcín Angliru.

Pablo Lara.
Time: 5 hours in normal situation, us 7 hours.
Difficulty: Low In normal situation, we

HIGH
Just leave the group and trackless mountains and the thing began to unravel.




The way we were leaving behind.






And the road ahead waiting for us, luckily the sun and good weather with us at all times.





The famous hatch to keep out the cattle in halfway packed snow.




This is the last visible sign of the route from this point and no signs or anything all covered with snow.




The flock where both won there for the summer had completely disappeared As shown in the road.




More than once had to help the hands to walk.




According lost altitude seemed that the road was slightly greater.




And so far Pedroveya.

Covadonga (Oviedo) - Throat Corao-Cantu


Since my pilgrimage to Santiago last year with the club's mountain Frese had not returned to coincide more with them and told me earlier this year that would make a pilgrimage from Oviedo Covadonga, which as I pointed out, which would involve many colleagues with whom I went to Santiago, so do not hesitate a moment and I signed up, the truth is that what little religion I am lately seem all a monk, with all due respect to the Friars if they still there are some that I have not the faintest idea.
I've been almost ten years or so making it, at first alone and lately with some other friends but I always do from Gijón, I recommend to everyone is beautiful, but I have not posted on the blog because the two last year we did a bike, but this year I promise to hang on foot touches.
At about quarter to nine in the morning of day 30 January 2011 arrived at the club ash grove that would be our starting point, and as loans to see all the comrades who made the Camino de Santiago, I had not seen him more since then, so after kissing hugs and laughter at 9 am we start on the bus route to the town of Covadonga (Oviedo), which is slightly above the cemetery on the same Oviedo Arenales, a dark day in winter and very poor prospects undertake our walk.
The route starts right from the Chapel of Covadonga to the right where we can find a panel indicating the eating of the route, the first meters run by road to soon divert to the left, next to the houses of El Calero, after passing a source with its sink called the Mermeya, here we take a deviation to the right to reach the village of Los Llanos to soon reach the Llovera.

The first meters of the day, before picking up the trail.




A true countryman of great kindness, he told us if we were to walk chiflaos this day




At this point the fog that had the distance and black was the sky we really enjoy the scenery and the photos are so poorly made and could be more or less in this area we started to rain and would not leave us and the whole day. Soon the path that we were finished at a crossroads in which we continue to face in the direction of the antennas of the big, all this step does not have any losses at any time as it is ideally suited at all times. We continued along the top
very gentle walk up to the hamlet of Fields for a road called the Escobal and we will not leave until you reach the small village of La Paranza, this village is the border of the councils of Oviedo and Siero we found a nice paisanín (see photo) fully warm jacket and hat with scarf course wearing clogs slippers and that is how life will be walked through the villages and told us we had to be chiflaos to walk with the day to the truth that the poor man was absolutely right hand, a character man and of great kindness.
In this small village of La Paranza was in the sixteenth century a malatería in which it welcomed the leprosy patients in the councils of Oviedo, Siero and Langreo.
now proceed and unable to close the umbrella of a well-marked ridge and low altitude where we crown a small hill about 500 meters left, leaving the Holy Medero summit (525m), at this point we make a brief stop to group all and eat some fruit and a drink. In descending this hill we found some abandoned settlement and the ruins of a small chapel.
now continue down to the houses of the Teyer and the coil, from this point climb almost to the Candaval trig point (518m), which we appreciate very close, in this particular point we struck a good hailstorm that soon we left to continue raining the rest of the way, this particular point that we were passing by, is situated on road tunnels AS-17 de Siero to Langreo.
continue our journey and entered the outskirts of the pretty village of Molledo and as noted they won the lottery recently tiny flats at the entrance of the village, who saw and who sees it, good for them. Luckily when we entered the village and are open Molledo the only bar in town, where there was only one person taking a wine and suddenly we 35 pilgrims and fanatics (that if highly educated) to request like crazy, that if beer if cafés, if wines, the probe Señoriño was already advanced in years with great kindness and patience we were covering all peacefully as it should be, a charming gentleman.
After taking a good beer fresh and delicious donuts eaten check by one of the pilgrims who had the great detail of loading all the way to a box Made for them the same then distributed among the group, great detail and a great baker, yes sir. Molledo
Since it is all soft and llanea decline until the end of the road, continue about 800 yards down the local road again Molledo to take a path that crosses the creek farmer Sink, who fell with so much water these days it rained barely appreciated the poor sink, this way we also see the remains of what was once the mill of the Pinto, soon went out to the AS-246 where in a short time will lead to the throat, where Richard was waiting for us to return by bus back to La Frese.
