Always one of my favorite hang out spots to chill in Gijon, Asturias (from 2012 to 2016), whenever I want to escape my city life from nearby Oviedo, especially when the Sun is up! I had some good memories in this beach, with some special people in my life. You won't go wrong, going to a nice, wide, and, "friendly" beach, if you just wanna relax, for free.

An inspiring place to visit. The top of the hill has a Chillida Monument faced to the sea where you can enjoy a privileged view of the sea, the Gijón City beach and the Musel harbour.

I'm very pleased to say that, contrary to usual Spanish expectations, the museum was actually open for a few hours on a Sunday. And very pleased we were... First things first, it's free. But we wouldn't have minded paying for such a treat. The informative layout, with both English and Spanish notes, is welcoming, interesting and a work of genuine passion The collection is varied, with many local artists well represented, alongside a couple of 'cameo' pieces from Picasso, Miro, Gargallo, Braque, etc. No crowds, so a leisurely stroll through the three levels, each representing different styles and periods. This was a real privilege, for which we are grateful. Not to be missed.

The road runs through a 300 metre long cave which is stunning and free to visit. You are supposed to wear a fluorescent jacket to walk through the caves. There are a number of walks that start at the far end of the caves.

We did extended version of the route from Poncebos to Cordiñanes de Valdeón in 2 days with overnight stay. The total length of our route was 18km one way. We enjoyed every meter of this relatively easy hike with stunning views. The weather was great and we were lucky that it was not that crowded. The route from Cain further to Cordiñanes has no people at all and we had this part of the hike totally for ourselves. It goes through a beautiful forest and tiny settlements that seem abandoned. This part goes slightly up the hill all the time but nothing extreme. Once you reach the village of Cordiñanes there is a beautiful viewing platform on the mountains - Mirador del Tombo. The village itself is tiny but totally worth exploring and spending at least a night there. The food is wow. Would definitely recommend the extended version as you’ll get more to see and experience.
