Puerto de Somiedo (North side)
Puerto de Somiedo is not an especially challenging climb, but it is one of the most beautiful in this part of Spain. It is set in the heart of the stunning Somiedo Natural Park - home to a unique ecosystem which includes bears, wolves, vultures, lynx and golden eagles. The Somiedo is isolated and cut off from the rest of the region by the mountains that circle its perimeter; one of which provides the slopes for the climb to Puerto de Somiedo - a small village on the border with the province of León.
