Resumen
The Sella River valley (Asturias, Spain) has been and is currently a benchmark in Palaeolithic discoveries and research. The location and the number of archaeological sites along its orography certify a significant human presence in the valley throughout all of Prehistory. The mobility that these human groups exercised and developed along the fluvial valley and its geographical location, invites the study of access routes to the exploitation of existing resources, as well as the exploration of territories, such as access to the valley of the Duero River, during the Late Glacier. The use of auxiliary tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for the study and tracing of prehistoric transit routes, have meant enormous progress in this field, although they are not the definitive solution. In this work we verify the existence of errors generated by these tools. The superimposition of the routes calculated on the real orography of the territory subject to study in this article, reflect certain paths that are impossible to carry out. A verification on the ground is necessary, which serves to elaborate the best route in this case, referring to the Azilian period
