Lena combines Asturias’s green mountain character with the more rugged terrain of the Cantabrian Mountains, reflecting its position on the historic route between Asturias and León. The River Lena runs through this inland municipality, where steep valleys, woodland and high passes shape daily life. The Pajares corridor has long connected the coast-facing Asturian lands with the Meseta, while traces of the Roman Via Carisa recall an even older crossing of these mountains. Lena is a useful base for understanding Asturias beyond its cities and shoreline. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Asturias.
