Start StartThis is where most rental companies are based. Collect your bikes, adjust the saddles and you're off. The car park has ~100 spaces — arrives early in summer.
Trubia Riverside
Km 1–4The first stretch follows the riverbank very closely. If the season is right, you might spot herons, kingfishers or even otters fishing in the shallows.
Las Agüeras Bridge
Km 5Halfway point and a natural stop. The old stone bridge is perfect for photos — and for letting the kids throw a few stones into the river below.
Peñas Juntas Viewpoint
Km 8The canyon walls start to close in. It's the same gorge visible from the Entrago–Buyera section, but from a different angle. Impressive regardless of direction.
Proaza

Coming with children — what you need to know
Frequently asked questions
Is Tuñón–Proaza suitable for a 3-year-old?
With a trailer, no problem. With a balance bike, it depends on the child — some manage it, others get tired. Bringing a trailer as backup is always a good idea.
Can I cycle from Proaza back to Tuñón without a shuttle?
Yes — the route is so flat that the return is equally easy. Many families do both ways on the same day.
Is there somewhere to eat in Proaza?
Yes, several bars and restaurants right next to the route. Most open every day in season. Check times in winter.
How early should I arrive in Tuñón in summer?
Before 9:30 am if you want a guaranteed parking space. The car park fills before 10:00 am in July and August.
