In Mieres, the Figaredo – Villandio Bridge – La Molinera – La Colladiella trail forms part of the Principality of Asturias’ official greenway network. It is 23.4 km + 1.7 long. It allows both pedestrian and cycle-touring use (BTT), on a surface designed for both.
The route goes from Figaredo -Peñule - Puente Villandio -La Molinera El Mosquil - Campa Cimera La Colladiella. Its moderate difficulty asks a little more fitness than the simplest coastal or riverside trails, though it is still far from a mountain route.
It is promoted by Principality of Asturias, within the Asturias Greenways Catalogue (2011). As across the whole network, it is worth checking the current state of the signage before setting off: more than a decade has passed since the official cataloguing.

What to bring
- Comfortable closed shoes; if the difficulty is moderate or high, trekking footwear is better.
- Plenty of water: most greenways have no fountains along the whole route.
- Sun or rain protection depending on the season — Asturian weather changes fast.
- If you are cycling, check your brakes: some greenway sections have short slopes.
