Alto de Gamoniteiro
The Gamoniteiro is the highest paved road in Asturias so it’s of no surprise that it’s not that easy to get to. Gamoniteiro is pretty much what you would expect from a climb which shares its mountain with Angliru. It never quite reaches the highest gradients of its more famous cousin, but it is still a very tough climb in its own right. Gamoniteiro is one of the most beautiful climbs in Asturias - particularly the second half which is wonderfully isolated. Here you may not see another person - just the peaceful and cyclist friendly dogs which lazily guard their sheep and cows from the wolves that occasionally roam the area at night.
