This is a website of English language descriptions of walking routes in the mountains and valleys of the Parque Natural de Redes; in Asturias, Spain. It is being developed by Robert Brown, of Casa Xerragua in Soto de Agues - in the heart of the Redes Natural Park. Descriptions include tracks of the route captured using a GPS; be aware that at times the track is not completely accurate, for example in deep valleys where the GPS signal is poor.
The duration of the route will vary according to your speed, stops on the way and so on. The times given for here are for guidance only, and are based on walking at 4 kilometres/hour, allowing an extra minute for each 10 metres of ascent, and then adding 10% to this estimate. But the more you look at the view, the longer it will take!

Mountain walking can be dangerous, although there is no need for it to be here. For advice on mountain safety and skills, if you intend walking in the high mountain areas, take a look at the British Mountaineering Council or the Mountain Rescue of England and Wales. There is no need to get worried, but do take responsibility for yourself. In most cases you will need a map and compass as well as the route description.
The recommendation of a route on this website is no guarantee of it's safety on the day that you visit, or of right of access. But there is plenty of opportunity for great walking near settlements and with no need to navigate.
For other background information, see the page on Advice and warnings.
Enjoy!
