Mieres stands out for its mining history and transformation into a modern city, with a growing range of cultural and other services. The centre features pedestrian areas, squares and green spaces, making it a pleasant stopover on the Ruta Via de la Plata.

Covering 12.5 kilometres with an elevation gain of 108 metres, this stage is suitable for road bikes and is rated as easy. Along the way, the valley’s green landscape accompanies riders in a peaceful setting with good communications.

You leave Mieres along a section of its urban bike lane network, which makes your departure easier, but take care at the point where it ends. Joining the main road requires caution, due to limited visibility and intermittent traffic on that stretch. From there, the route mainly continues along a well-surfaced road with moderate traffic.

Your journey ends in Caborana (in the municipality of Aller), a village that combines rural and mountain traditions and serves as the gateway to the southern part of Asturias. The villages in the area preserve their traditional architecture, and the natural setting is ideal for cyclotourism and relaxing getaways.
