Bulnes
A high mountain stone village with no road access. You can reach it only by the tunnel cable railway or on foot, and it is the gateway to the Urriellu peak (Naranjo de Bulnes).
The village is divided into upper and lower parts. Its stone houses, stone bridges and streams are well preserved. A few small restaurants serve Cabrales cheese and stewed beans. You can take the tunnel cable railway from Poncebos, a ride of about 7 minutes (round trip about 20-odd euros), or hike about 1 to 1.5 hours along the Tejo gorge trail. From the village, a further hike leads to a viewpoint for the Urriellu peak (Naranjo de Bulnes).
