MTB through the villages of Vega de Liébana from La Vega

MTB loop around the head of the Deva valley, in the south of Liébana, outside the Picos de Europa National Park. You start from La Vega, the municipal capital, and link the villages on the western slope along tracks and livestock paths: Bores, Enterrías and Ledantes, before crossing over towards Dobres and Bárago and returning along the valley floor. More than half the route is dirt and stone track, with a short stretch of singletrack and the rest on local roads with almost no traffic. The climbs are long and there are tough ramps between villages: you need a mountain bike and good legs. In La Vega there are bars, a shop and parking; the villages have fountains, but no services you can count on. Best from May to October; in spring and autumn the tracks get muddy and in winter there may be snow higher up. Respect the livestock and close any gates you go through.
