The route

Greenway on the line of the old mining railway that linked the La Camocha pit with Gijón. It starts in the south of the city and heads into the rural area of Vega and La Camocha between meadows, farmhouses and the odd tunnel of trees. It's flat or very gently sloping, traffic-free, and good for riding with children or taking it easy on any bike. Mixed surface of compacted dirt and tarmac. In Gijón there's water, bars and parking; at the other end, the La Camocha neighbourhood has a bar or two. It's good to ride all year round; in autumn and winter there may be puddles and leaves. Respect people on foot: it's a very popular path.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (ODbL).
