The majestic pine forest at the beginning of the route and that is with us for almost the whole way.
The famous Rock of the four judges.
Although the fog was pretty intense and I could see perfectly Gijón Musel port.
Fario Peak where all television repeaters and telephony to the city of Gijón
From Pico Fario we now turn to the Cerro Gavio or Cimero.
Blow the step in this harsh winter.
The small bar Baldornón people, parents of the famous Chechu Rubiera, a lovely people.
Fario Peak, with its 732m high, can consider, on a clear day, it was not our case a splendid view of the bay of Gijón, but as I say we could see almost nothing through the haze, from this popular peak for the people of Gijón can be seen well south Oviedo and the Aramo the massif Ubiñas, the Sueve and of course the Picos de Europa.
On March 13, 2010 were going to mount the usual but due to bad weather gave the route that was suspended was scheduled, but as his friend Paco and I were bored staying at home all morning because at eight morning calls me and says he's not as bad as what we put the party (as he called the good of my Guela the evening news) so I said why not give a pasein about three hours until the Picu Faria I told him that happy since over ten years was not having it so close up, for nothing, we met for breakfast in the famous district of Carmen de Gijón at half past eight and once made a coffee and put toward the Fario Pinchin.
To reach the starting point only has to take the old road between Pola de Siero Gijón and take the turning left leaving us to the village of Baldornón. To climb to the peak Fario can take a lot of tracks and all without losing lead us through different paths to the top, it can even move as was our case.
We headed to the top of the village of Baldornón Baldornón Rioseco call.
Well as ten o'clock in the morning and after going to pick up the Perrin de Paco, Terry, we get down to work with a very unpleasant time but at least without any rain.
Just behind the house is a track that takes us and no loss to the top, this track in its day was marked with the name of PR-118, but today and the negligence of the municipality of Gijón and is no longer a single brand across the path of what was once the route. All the way and as usual to climb any peak is uphill but the fact that the views, the small forest of pine trees and little inclination through a barely one learns that the road is uphill.
Shortly after the track starts to take tougher slopes, by a concrete track which is resolved at once to the left, amid a small forest of pine trees.
We reached the top where we get a deviation to the right which do not have to pick up, we walked quietly ahead as we face the odd cyclist, in this area and we have a magnificent view of the entire area and Rioseco the tailpiece of Baldornón, we are now in an area called the Llagón belonging to the parish of Deva, from here and despite the fog and have a good view of the port of Gijón Musel the background.
We delve back into the pine forest where he also we can see occasional oak and birch trees that dominated the area before replanting, this is the flattest area of \u200b\u200bthe entire route and soon as we reached the famous "Rock of the four judges," this site is called because once gathered here representatives of the four councils that meet in this point-Gijón, Villaviciosa, Sariego and Siero, to discuss and settle the issues of pastures and livestock.
From this point we began to contemplate the Pico Fario with telephone and television antennas, the path now becomes a silk that will lead us without any loss to the summit with a cold wind and a very considerable. This area is surrounded by pastures and cattle, and I remember years ago because the young people won came to pick bongis (mushrooms) and it came out in impressive numbers for all these fields, but those were good times.
Shortly after walking slowly down this path because as I said the strong wind blowing we reached the famous Pico Fario where we a couple of quick shots and down the cold and wind are tremendous, without further we went the other path down from the same peak to another small watchtower Gavio name or Cimero Hill, where there is a small playground and pavilion also weather the odd antenna, here we see the remains the odd nativity summits of these last Christmas.
From the base of this mountain is a path that will lead us and without loss by the party to which we climbed and without lost again to the point where we have the car, we are gradually coming down the ridge between lush pine forest a few others lying on the road because the wind whips there was this harsh winter.
For about three hours of easy walking calmly back to get the car and as there was a little thirsty we decided to stop at Baldornón bar, bar parents who run Chechu Rubiera, the famous Asturian rider, I had never stopped but the truth is that the mother is one of Chechu most charming people I met with a kindness toward us impressive was telling us when that barin previously bar-shop and had a life just awesome and now open to not get bored because they are both retired, I asked him if he could make a photos inside the bar and told me he wanted and made the poor woman with the patience of the world was telling us all that there had hung trophies of his famous son, the truth is I'm glad to stop in the villages when people is so lovely and so simple.
