The sport in Asturias
Eastern
route by El Transcantábrico
Jesús
Castañón Rodríguez
| From
the 25th to the 28th of November,2004, the railway company FEVE
went for a singular trip: an active tourism cruise on board
an epoch train. |
 |
To
the East of the Paradise
The train came to Oviedo again to go to a new stage road to the
East. It went in search of the sea-mountain-twinning in a coast
and narrow flat with balconies viewing the littoral. It went in
search of a cut out line with inlets and outlets, capes, bays, estuaries,
high cliffs, coves of cosy ports, jesters by means of which the
wind and the swell were heard...
Oviedo-LLanes
Now the railway line of Económicos, between Oviedo and Llanes
and inaugurated in 1928 was done. A singular section to link Oviedo
and Santander which was due to a special agreement between the railways
of Económicos and the Bay of Biscay and it created a system
of main railway stations, secondary ones and stopping places in
the councils of Oviedo, Siero, Nava, Piloña, Parres, Ribadesella
and Llanes.
   
Shields
of the town councils of Oviedo, Siero, Nava and Piloña
The
train "plied" a smoother landscape than in the West, with
a new leading role for bridges, pipes and scars.
 
In
the administrative division which comprise a number of municipalities
typical due to Cider (made up by the towns of Bimene, Cabranes,
Colunga, Nava, Sariego and Villaviciosa), tradition and modernity,
history and he contemporary World were hugged.
| The
traveller had a great number of possibilities: to travel around
27 Pre-romanesque and Romanesque monuments, to enjoy the difference
between the rural and marine life and a wide range of agriculture,
beekeeping, fruit growing, cattle raising, gardening…To
amuse the sight by means of the paradise fruits: cranberries,
raspberries, strawberries, strawberries and mainly apples. |

Racetrack
of Soto de Dueñas
|
The
sport train skirted around the waters of the Piloña river
to Arriondas, place for pilots where the Javier Villa's speed
noises and the notes of the pop feeling for a new identity echoed.
This new identity was reflected in the song "Asturias"
by Ramón Melendi when he turns the Formula 1 racing driver
Fernando Alonso into the King of Wind. |
