Wise Pilgrim APPLlanos de Somerón has a fountain and a pleasant spot to rest in front of the church. If you settle in for a break, don't be surprised if a local appears to unlock the church for you — Asturian hospitality at its quiet best. There are no formal services, but the water and the shade make it a natural pause point.
From Llanos de Somerón to Puente de los Fierros there are two options.
The road route: Before entering the small town, look for a path to your left marked "Fresnedo." You don't actually need to enter Puente de los Fierros. This route takes you through two hamlets and past the Ermita de San Miguel and a fountain. It's gentler and more scenic than the road.
The Munisteriu alternative: A more challenging route that abandons the road shortly after leaving town and follows a 4.8 km mountain trail. The elevation gain and loss is 133 m up and 387 m down. It's more rigorous, but most rewarding things are. If your legs are fresh and the weather is good, take this one.
