Of the three massifs that form the Picos de Europa, the Central or Urrieles, which is practically in the geographical center of the group between the Tesorero peak and the Torre de los Horcados Rojos, is the one that reaches the highest peaks and where the profiles are the wildest; a summary of all the abysses, channels and vertiginous and fantastic gorges of the immense Picos de Europa.
The downhill or simply flat sections are scarce and instead there are plenty of steep slopes and rocks. The first section ascends along the eastern bank of the Tejo channel until reaching Bulnes de Abajo. After crossing the village towards the Pandébano pass, we reach the hidden entrance of the Balcosín channel and when we reach the Jou Bajo we must take the steep Camburero channel to the right. Once in the Jou Lluengo it is possible to contemplate the Naranjo.
The Celada pass marks the transition from shadows to blinding clarity. Under the pass, located at 2,227 meters, there is a deep cirque formed by the Colladetas, Oso and Carnizoso towers, as well as the Collada Bonita and the Martínez needle. The bottom of the cirque is a real funnel, a very characteristic phenomenon in Picos that is very aptly called hoyo in the Leonese part and jou in the Asturian. This one in particular could not be called otherwise: jou tras el Picu.

Bulnes, a municipality in the Picos de Europa with just over 30 inhabitants, can only be reached by funicular or walking along a narrow and steep road, which has allowed it to maintain its heritage and great beauty.
The traditional buildings of Bulnes are dressed in limestone, which contrasts with the red clay roofs, and with its wooden windows and doors of the area, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of a municipality that treasures goods inventoried in the Cultural Heritage of Asturias, such as the Castle Tower or the Church of San Martin de Bulnes.
Asturias is the largest cheese producing region in Europe. The livestock and shepherding tradition, together with its orographic and climatic conditions, motivated its inhabitants to specialize in the handmade production of exceptional quality cheeses, highlighting the Cabrales, which is made in Bulnes, for its high quality craftsmanship.
