    Villar de Mazarife and Villadangos del Paramo.

    While I have always walked out onto the Paramo via Oncina, there is a bus route from the Villadangos area to Mazarife but the next one is this afternoon , so it may be a 1 per day service. I click on the bus stops on google maps to see this. It says 27 mins bus ride or 5 mins by car
