Description of the walk

There are a few parking spaces on the square in Tielve, provided it is not peak season.

(S) Take the street eastwards, then turn left onto the road that winds upwards, ignoring the Monte Camba path, which the hike crosses again further on, to stay on the same path almost to the end. Follow it to a hamlet.

(1) Continue uphill with a few hairpin bends until you leave the hamlet and arrive at a fork.

(2) Ignore the Tielves - Arenas trail that branches off to the left and continue on Monte Camba towards the south and then east.

(3) Cross the Riega de Cimbraña and continue south then south-east downhill towards the village of Sotres and join a road near an electricity pylon.

(4) Take the road on the right towards the west.

(5) Take the hairpin bend to the right onto the path that descends and leave it on the left after twenty metres. This path descends to the car park (E).

Closed sections marked 2.3 km from the start (October 2025).

Village de Bulnes
↔7.36 km ↗+583 m ↘-581 m ◔3h 45 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Cabrales (Asturias)
Bulnes is worth a visit for many reasons, whether by funicular railway or on foot. The village has an unusual atmosphere, a rural setting where you will see barely a dozen neighbours and a good number of Asturian houses, many in ruins, including the parish church. The advantage is that you can take the funicular railway one way or both ways. But hiking both ways is really the best option! Don't miss the Picu Urriellu viewpoint, also known as Naranjo de Bulnes, which is located a few minutes from the village of Bulnes. It offers a breathtaking panoramic view of this famous peak in the Picos de Europa.
