San Juan de la Arena and the Bajo Nalón: where Asturias nourishes you from within
There are journeys that begin when you pack your suitcase, and others, the best ones, when you finally slow down. In San Juan de la Arena, where the river Nalón meets the Cantabrian Sea, Asturias speaks to you in a different way. Here there is no hurry or noise. Only the smell of saltpetre, the green that calms your gaze, the song of the birds, the breeze that comes through the window and that silence that does not weigh you down: it accompanies you. In the heart of the Bajo Nalón, travelling is not running, it is feeling again. And that is what we propose at Las Mimosas del Nalón: a stay to reconnect with the essential. Our motto, Nourish the Senses, is not just a nice phrase. It is a way of understanding Asturias, rest and hospitality. Feed the Sight San Juan de la Arena is pure landscape. The estuary, the port, the houses overlooking the water, the open horizon of Los Quebrantos Beach, the Playón de Bayas, the cliffs and the viewpoints of the Bajo Nalón form a postcard that changes with every daylight. From Las Mimosas you can look out over all this: stroll through San Esteban de Pravia, discover the Indian elegance of Somao, lose yourself in Pravia and its history, walk along Muros de Nalón or simply watch how the Nalón opens up to the sea. You don't just come to see Asturias, you come to let Asturias look at you from the inside. Feed the ear Here, the sound also calms down. The murmur of the river, the wind through the trees, the seagulls in the port, the waves breaking in Los Quebrantos, the spark of the cider falling into the glass. At Las Mimosas we believe that the real luxury lies in listening to less noise and more life. Less notifications. more laughter. less agenda. more presence. Because there are silences that take care. The Bajo Nalón smells of sea and forest. Eucalyptus, wet grass, fresh rain, freshly baked bread, Asturian cuisine and a fishing village. San Juan de la Arena preserves its essence without make-up: its fishing tradition, its port, its canning history and its link with the elver. Here, every aroma brings you back to the present and reminds you that you are right where you need to be. Feed your taste buds In Asturias, happiness is also served at the table. Fish of the day, seafood from the Bay of Biscay, local cheeses, natural cider, cuisine without artifice... In our experiences, taste takes centre stage. A romantic getaway with local products, a quiet dinner at sunset, a breakfast without looking at the clock, a nearby recommendation to discover restaurants, wineries and places where you can eat as you eat in Asturias: with love and without haste. Eating here means savouring the place, toasting, tasting, sharing and remembering. Nourish your sense of touch Rest can also be touched. In soft sheets after a day at the beach.in a blanket when the evening falls.in the warm wood of the accommodation.in the sand under your feet.in the fresh grass.in the salt that remains on your skin after the sea. Las Mimosas del Nalón is not only an accommodation, it is a refuge. Your home in Asturias. The point from which to explore the Bajo Nalón and to return to with a full heart. Feed your instinct There is a sixth sense that is activated when you are where you should be. You notice it when you arrive: you breathe differently, your body relaxes, time stops ticking. An improvised route, a walk along the estuary, a surfing lesson in Los Quebrantos, a paddle surfing experience in the Nalón, a horseback riding route along the Asturian coast, a quiet dinner with your family and friends. Everything flows without having to force it. Because disconnecting is not about running away from the world, it is about turning yourself back on. The Bajo Nalón: the Asturias that you feel The Bajo Nalón is not visited, it is lived. San Juan de la Arena provides a seafaring soul, San Esteban de Pravia, port memory, Somao, indian beauty. A stroll through its streets is an experience in itself. We recommend a coffee on the terrace of the IndianoPravia, history. King Silo presides over the main squareMuros de Nalón, viewpointsAnd the estuary, that thread of water that unites everything. Every experience here makes sense because it is born from the place. We are not looking to fill your days with plans, but to help you find your own rhythm: quieter, more active, more romantic, more familiar or wilder. We all come looking for something similar: to feel a little better. Come to nourish your senses in Asturias Come to look at the green and the sea until your eyes rest, to listen to the river and the Cantabrian Sea until the noise dies down, to smell the saltpetre, the eucalyptus and the traditional cuisine, to taste the cider, the cheeses, the fish and the shared time, to touch the sand, the wood, the grass and the calm, to awaken that instinct that tells you: “this is where it used to be”. Las Mimosas del Nalón awaits you between the river and the sea, in a corner of Asturias where life turns down the volume and everything makes sense again. Don't just come to sleep, don't just come to sightsee, don't just come to disconnect, come to reconnect with you, come to reconnect with yourself. Come to reconnect with yourself, come to live the Bajo Nalón, come to Las Mimosas del Nalón. Feed the Senses. Your home in Asturias.
