Bajo Nalón: Asturias' best-kept secret
There are destinations that still retain something hard to come by: authenticity. The Lower Nalón region still retains that laid-back pace of the real Asturias. The Asturias of small ports where you can still smell the sea, endless beaches where life moves at a leisurely pace, viewpoints overlooking the Cantabrian Sea, roads winding through lush greenery, and villages where every conversation feels like a warm welcome. Between Pravia, Muros de Nalón, Soto del Barco and San Juan de la Arena, the journey becomes an experience for the senses. Here you can go from walking along the cliffs to enjoying a delicious fish dinner whilst gazing at the estuary; from discovering Indian-style architecture in Somao to ending the day watching the sun set over the Nalón. The destination’s promotional video sums it up perfectly: the Lower Nalón isn’t a place to rush through; it’s a place to savour slowly. Nature, gastronomy, culture, the sea and tranquillity are all part of the same experience. And that is precisely where our essence lies: nourishing the senses at Las Mimosas del Nalón.
