In the early morning of 20 June, Juan Pablo García arrived in Benavente to warn the column of Antonio Aranda Mata's rebellion in Oviedo. Upon hearing the news, the unanimous opinion of the miners was to return to Asturias. The motorized column left immediately and managed to enter Asturias through Leitariegos, the first thing in the morning on 21 June, joining the first lines in the Siege of Oviedo.
