Following with interest as I hope to walk this way inJuly! Buen caminoJust arrived to San Vicente de la Barquera to start Camino Lebaniego tomorrow. Staying at the albergue municipal which is very nice. The plan is to connect more caminos: Lebaniego, Vadiniense, Olvidado and San Salvador, thus ending it in Oviedo. I just love the mountains, that is how the idea came up.Hope, everything goes well.
Thank you all for best wishes. The first day on Camino Lebaniego was great. Lots of nature and very little asphalt. The coffee and delicious tortilla in the bar in Serdio were very refreshing, it made me walk much fasterWhat a combo! I'll be watching with interest!
Happy mountain walking (and Buen Camino!)
The plan is to connect more caminos: Lebaniego, Vadiniense, Olvidado and San Salvador, thus ending it in Oviedo. I just love the mountains, that is how the idea came up.
That's exactly the combinationBuen camino, I also love the mountains and will be interested to see how you combine these routes. Do you have your route planned? It looks like the most straightforward is Vadiniense to Cistierna (joining Olvidado) to Buiza (joining Salvador) to Oviedo. But maybe you’ll figure out (or have figured out) a way to get some more of those Olvidado mountain stages squeezed in there. Sounds like a great adventure!
Careful with the ticks! I had lots on the Olvidado. In fact, arriving in Cistierna at the Hotel Moderno for my second Olvidado, the woman at reception said — oh yes, I remember you, I took a tick out of your back! That had been about 6 years earlier, so it must have been a memorable event in her life.
It is amazing. The views are stuning.That is an amazing mountain combination, indeed, you might still find even some snow in 3 or 4 days!
Ticks are a nasty thing, do make sure you check all your hairy, warm parts (will skip details here!) and the back of your knees too, they will look for that area and move in when you sit down to relax a bit.
I was around that area at this time of the year, 6 years ago, absolutely stunning, do try to find some time to take the cable car to the top of Fuente Dé, it is a unique experience (if you stay in Espinama, they will be able to arrange a lift for you to the base station of the cable car).
Buen camino!!!
I see! the albergue Briz is really nice, Aurora, the landlady in the bar, is fantastic, they gave us a lift to the cable car station, then picked us up when we came back from the summits. And yes, we took the woods shortcut too, unbelievable landscape on a sunny, cold June morning (and quite a bit of snow too!)It is amazing. The views are stuning.
I decided not to go to Fuente De, I rather admired it from the far. Instead I took the variant through the woods, which was very nice and shady. But, yes, I stayed in Espinama, at the Albergue Briz - I recommend it.
Buen camino to you too, wherever you are walking or planned to walk

One recommendation: don’t stay in albergue cabañes, stay in the other one - C. José Fernández Cuétara, 5, 39584 Cabañes, Cantabria, SpainThank you all for best wishes. The first day on Camino Lebaniego was great. Lots of nature and very little asphalt. The coffee and delicious tortilla in the bar in Serdio were very refreshing, it made me walk much faster. After Munorrodero the camino turns to the river Nanse, the information table says it's a 6,8 km long walk. Wherever there was a variant, I took the so called "aguas bajas" version as the water was low. Around 5 km before Cades I again chose the river version, which is not marked as a camino way but as a Senda fluvial del Nansa. Walking along the river was very nice and wild, with plenty of greens and interesting, sometimes gigantic trees. But it was also very humid. Around 500 meters before Cades I turned left over the bridge to stay at the hotel Casona del Nansa. Altogether I walked around 29 km (I missed the way once, just after Munorrodero, near the playground - instead of turning left I turned right on the bridge and made a kilometer long circle - but it was worth it). Tomorrow, the walking distance will be much shorter, to Cicera. Just by the way, it's a season of ticks .
I did something similar years ago - Lebaniego-Vadiniense- then to León for Salvador. Are you going to get off the Vadiniense in Cistierna, then go on the Olvidado to La Robla and then continue on the Salvador?The plan is to connect more caminos: Lebaniego, Vadiniense, Olvidado and San Salvador, thus ending it in Oviedo.
