After another crossroads, we pass very close to a quintana (Asturian farmhouse) very highlighted: that of Casa Rubiera, in La Pedrera, to the right of the greenway. The house has a manor shield, formed by six circles or points; next to it is the old <em>llagar\u00f3n <\/em>(large cider press) and, opposite, a bread basket decorated with motifs of Asturian popular art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span>We pass the La Pedrera stream and a long illuminated tunnel, which passes under the Carbonera road, leads us to the parish of Leorio\/Llorio. There, on our left, above some orchards, is the La Torre estate, with the facilities of the old Asturian Center (currently Real Grupo Covadonga), in the neighborhood of Mareo de Baxo. Then we arrive at the puent\u00f3n (old railway bridge), where there is another rest area, with excellent views to the south of the valley of Llantones, El Picumil and l&#8217;Altu La Madera. When we resumed the route we noticed the silhouette of the old parish church of Santa Mar\u00eda de Leorio (X.XII), ruined after the Civil War and not rebuilt, as a large part of its elements were used in the cemetery of La Pedrera to build a pantheon, an almost exact replica of the primitive temple. Below, at the foot of the bridge, was the house in which the famous Payares mill stood, one of the many that worked with the water of the Llantones stream, and where an artistic carved bread basket is preserved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/visitagijonturismo.com\/gijon\/uploaded\/Rutas\/Sendas\/camocha_04.jpg\" alt=\"V\u00eda Verde de La Camocha\" width=\"750\" height=\"451\" class=\"\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: center\">Passing under the viaduct of the Minera motorway, we take as a reference the silhouette of the Picu&#8217;l Sol, which we identify when we enter the parish of Samart\u00edn de G\u00fcerces through the Cag\u00fcezu neighbourhood, an idyllic rural landscape dominated by the high towers of the shafts of the La Camocha mine, at the foot of which this route ends.
