This is an interesting circular route which brings us to the mountainous massif of Ioar and Costalera. It is a very technical route on which special caution should be taken when descending from Costalera, owing to the very steep gradient. It is possible to leave the route halfway in the case of any unforeseen circumstances. There is a beautiful chapel almost at the end of the route, an ideal spot to relax after completing the activity.
This is a tough route that departs from Santa Cruz de Campezo [km 0], making a round trip that ends up at the same point. We climb halfway up the Sierra de Codes and cycle around the hillside through pine and beech forests, almost entirely on tracks with uneven surfaces.
From the Main Square in Santa Cruz de Campezo, take the street that heads up to the left. Soon, above the town, we turn right onto a track [km 5] that runs parallel above the NA-743 road. We proceed along a large track westwards, with spectacular views of the Sierra de Cantabria.
After a few kilometres, there is a sharp turn to the left which marks the start of a tough climb enabling us to gain height. Higher up, we turn left again towards Santa Cruz de Campezo. A rapid descent nearly brings us back to our Starting Point, although before arriving we turn right to climb steeply up to the Ioar Path. A few metres further on, we abandon this path and rejoin the La Dormida Path [km 14]. We climb gently through a pine forest until we come to a fork, where we turn left to begin a rapid and pleasant descent to Santa Cruz de Campezo.
Take care along this stretch, as the route is narrow and there may be hikers walking up. After passing through the forest we come to the Ega River, from which point all that remains is to follow the river back to Santa Cruz de Campezo [km 20,62].
