May 26, 2021 Terina Blouin

Asturias (/æˈstʊəriəs, ə-/; Spanish: [asˈtuɾjas]; Asturian: Asturies [asˈtuɾjes]; Galician: Asturias), officially the Principality of Asturias (Spanish: Principado de Asturias; Asturian: Principáu d'Asturies), is an autonomous community in north-west Spain. It is coextensive with the province of Asturias, and contains some of the territory that was part of the larger Kingdom of Asturias in the Middle Ages. Divided into eight comarcas (counties), the autonomous community of Asturias is bordered by Cantabria to the east, by Castile and León to the south, by Galicia to the west, and by the Bay of Biscay to the north.

Playa de San Lorenzo

Reviewed By CAMARO_Maroon - Quezon City, Philippines

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.

La Ruta del Cares

Reviewed By BorisBru - Brussels, Belgium

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.

Playa de Torimbia

Reviewed By londonscot - London, United Kingdom

We spent two days at this beach, reminiscent of the Channel Islands, about 4km West of Llanes. It is a bit of a challenge to find, up winding narrow roads through a hillside village, and a 1km walk from the clifftop car park, but well worth it. A large expanse of sand, Atlantic breakers and lush green vegetation around. There is a restaurant and toilet just up from the beach so you can spend all day there. Note that there is some nudism if that sort of thing offends you.
