Trail of el Alba

Activity · Sobrescobio, Nalón, Asturias

The Ruta del Alba is the PR-AS 62 short-distance path of the council of Sobrescobio, included within Redes Natural Park. For seven kilometres it follows the old mining track of the Llaímo path, closely following the course of the Alba river, from a washing place in Soto de Agües to the Cruz de los Ríos, where there is an old hunting refuge, crossing the Foces de Llaímo along the way. The route itself is listed as a natural monument by decree of 19 April 2001 and is part of the Special Protection Area for Birds and the Redes Biosphere Reserve; its fauna includes otters, golden eagles, dippers and trout, and its flora includes beeches, limes and yews.
