Data of interest
Around
Here the main protagonists are the Leonese mountain and the Palencia mountain. As wild, rugged and beautiful as they are unknown.
From the wooded spaces and large valleys of Laciana and Babia, we will change to the canyons and cliffs of the rocky mountains in the vicinity of Vegacervera, and then border the Barrios de Luna swamp until we reach the outskirts of Boñar and Riaño and finish in a pilgrimage road for bikers in the area, such as "the swamp route" of the Palencia mountain, a short and intense journey that will leave us in Aguilar de Campoo.
We will begin the route with smooth and very attractive sections where little by little the driving will become more complicated. After the fun gorges of Vegacervera, the road stretches and becomes smoother until it reaches Boñar. After the tour through the Porma reservoir and arrival in Puebla de Lillo, the road will become more complicated and wild with really interesting motorcycle sections until you reach Riaño. It can be the most complicated section and one that some motorcycles enjoy the most.

It often happens that visiting castles is somewhat uncomfortable in motorcycle clothing. Don't worry, it is possible to do it and it is highly recommended to see some of the exhibitions shown inside or climb its watchtowers.
