Entrago — Buyera
Your route, stop by stop
Entrago
Start StartYou collect the bike in Tuñón and a transfer drops you at Entrago. From there the route unfolds without any mechanical help.
Teverga Tunnels
Km 1–6Five tunnels carved into the rock — some over 300 m and lit up inside. The temperature drops noticeably: perfect respite in summer.
Peñas Juntas Gorge
Km 8The landscape narrows and canyon walls rise above the route. At this point the river is so close you can almost touch it from the saddle.
Proaza
Km 11Rest stop. Bars, restaurants and the bear enclosure — where you can see the Cantabrian brown bear for free. Good place to catch your breath before the final section.
Buyera
Finish · 18 km FinishEnd of the line. The shuttle picks you up here and takes you back to the start. If you cycled with the flow, the return is a well-deserved rest.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be fit to do Entrago–Buyera?
No. It's downhill all the way, so your legs rest most of the time. Even people who rarely cycle can complete it without problems.
Can I do it without a shuttle?
You can, but you'd have to cycle back up — 18 km uphill. Most people prefer the shuttle, which gets you back in about 30 minutes.
How long does the section take in total?
Between 1.5 and 2.5 hours pedalling at a relaxed pace, plus time at Proaza and Buyera. Count on at least half a day.
Are the tunnels safe for children?
Yes. They are lit, wide enough for two bikes to pass and have no complicated gradients. The little ones love them.
