ALTO DE LA CAÑADA FROM VILLABANDÍN

We leave the village of Villabandín along the road towards Rodicol. We will find a path on our left towards the river Estiello.

When the path closes, we must take a path on our right and continue through the mountain until we come to a deep gap opened by the stream.

We turn left and start to avoid the piornos. Following the ascent we will find a path that takes us into the valley in search of the stream.

From the stream we will find a path that takes us to the hill towards the Chano del Estuliello.

A little before arriving, we leave the path to the left to look for the hill on clear ground and continue along a path that takes us to Braña Llampa.

Here we pass the stream we see on the right and going up a very steep slope we reach a ridge that descends from the Vidulina, we go up it and before reaching the top we continue towards the Alto de la Cañada following the ridge.
