Desfiladero de La Hermida
A gorge about 21 km long, carved by the Deva River, where the N-621 road winds between cliffs hundreds of meters high. It is the gateway into the Liébana valley.
This gorge is one of the longest in Spain. The road follows the river, making it ideal for a slow drive. Along the way you can stop at the village of La Hermida for a soak in the hot springs, or take the trailhead at Urdón and hike up to the village of Tresviso.
The road is narrow and winding, with frequent large vehicles, so drive with care and watch for falling rocks after rain.
Admission is free. The coordinates given are for the middle of the gorge.
